Hi. Ive developed this horrible armpit odor. It smells like raw onions and it happens everyday to me around 4 hours after i shower. I've tried almost all antibacterial soaps, ointments, creams. All they do is burn my skin very bad the smell is still there. Once the smell happens i cannot wash it off. Ive also wasted my money on miradry and botox. Please help its ruining my career

Answer: Miradry and odor miraDry and Botox should help somewhat with odor. miraDry recently received FDA clearance for odor reduction. miraDry is performed as a 90 minute treatment. There are 5 different energy levels that your doctor can select. Perhaps you needed a stronger treatment? Or a second session? Two sessions are recommended for optimal results. Also- have you considered a dietary cause? Do you eat foods with heavy spice such as turmeric or cumin?

Answer: MiraDry for Odor Concerns Hi and thank you for your question! Not sure how many miraDry treatments you had, however, as stated below, it seems sometimes 2-3 treatments are needed for odor concerns. I would recommend you contact the office/doctor where you had the procedure. Find out if you had a level 5 treatment. That's the highest level and is probably needed to resolve the odor issues. If you didn't finish 2-3 treatments, you may want to consider completing the rest of the treatments, as miraDry will be your best non-surgical option for this concern. Botox only helps with the sweating and has no effect on the odor glands. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
