Microecological investigation and comparison of two clinical methods to evaluate axillary osmidrosis

LSM provided a higher sensitivity for evaluating odor severity than the TM and may be suitable for use in a clinical setting, and the pH value was positively associated with AO severity.

Skin health and hygiene

Sylvie Hampton looks at factors that may affect the skin health of staff, advises on the best way to cleanse and moisturize, and looks at common skin problems.

Gender Difference of in vivo Skin Surface pH in the Axilla and the Effect of a Standardized Washing Procedure with Tap Water

There is a gender difference in axillary skin surface pH between men and women with more acidic values in females, and washing with water further increased the difference between male and female pH values.

Efficacy of topical acidified aliphatic ester for treatment of axillary osmidrosis by rebalancing skin microecology

It is concluded that topical acidified aliphatic ester could effectively alleviate conditions of AO patients by reducing value of axillary pH and rebalancing axillary microecology.

The Acidic Milieu of the Horny Layer

Changes in the pH and the organic factors influencing it appear to play a role, not only in the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of irritant contact dermatitis, but also of atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis and in wound healing.

Zur Problematik der Verträglichkeitstestung bei Deodorantien

In an open controlled study the application of a deodorant for 3 weeks was tested for tolerance in 30 volunteers with sensitive skin (positive stinging test), and excellent results recommend the tested product for the daily care of sensitive skin.

Promoting good hygiene among older residents

Over-cleansing or incorrect use of skin cleansers can affect the balance of skin flora and may damage vulnerable tissues, so best practice is to be considered.

Zinc Oxide Inhibits Axillary Colonization by Members of the Genus Corynebacterium and Attenuates Self-perceived Malodour: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

Application of zinc oxide reduced malodour and the counts of causative bacteria, but increased the pH of the axilla in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 30 healthy volunteers.

The axillary microflora of 229 subjects was characterized quantitatively and the results correlated with whether the odor was pungent body odor or instead a faint "acid odor". The axillary flora was…

In‐vitro and in‐vivo studies of human axillary odour and the cutaneous microflora

The axillary microflora of 34 male subjects were studied in relation to their underarm odour intensity and aerobic coryneforms, Micrococcaceae and propionibacteria were predominant groups.

The skin microflora and the formation of human axillary odour

There was a statistically significant association between population density of aerobic coryneform bacteria and UAO intensity, and no associations could be found between population densities of staphylococci, micrococci or propionibacteria andUAO intensity.

Efficacy of a deodorant and its components: Triethylcitrate and perfume

In a double-blind controlled trial, deodorant preparations containing perfume and triethyl citrate in a 60% ethanol base were compared to preparations lacking either perfume or triethylcitrate, and to a placebo preparation.

Measurement of skin pH.

The knowledge of the skin surface pH-acid mantle is updated and the conviction that chronic alkalinization is damaging has been strengthened and the need for extensive infrastructural research and evaluation by non-parametric methods is emphasized.

P pH-shifts induced by cosmetic procedures can only prevent unpleasant body odour due to abundant growth of bacteria if the pH-value is decreased to 5.0 or less.

The results suggest that skin permeability is higher in the evening and night than in the morning, and may be clinically relevant in several aspects applied to skin physiology and topical drug application.
