A Discussion On Microwave Therapy for Bromhidrosis

1. Letter to Editor
Microwave therapy is an effective alternative in the permanent treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, which produced the highest satisfaction among treated patients. As there is not much literature relating to therapies to reduce bromhidrosis [1], we would like to present in this paper our own data on the usage of liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to evaluate the effect before and after the treatment of bromhidrosis in our practice. (Table 1) presents the data of chemical secretion of patients treated with microwave therapy for bilateral axillary bromhidrosis with the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique [2]. The chemical secretion, 3M3SH-Cys-Gly, 3M2H-Gln and HMHA-Gln, in the sweat of bromhidrosis patients were monitored before and after the procedure.
