My friend has been dealing with a lot of unwanted hair growth in places like the navel and underarms. Are there any effective treatments for this that don't involve laser surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hormonal imbalance, PCOS, or genetics could cause unwanted hair. Options include waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, electrolysis, or anti-androgen medications—not only laser.

I've been noticing that whenever I sweat, it ends up smelling really bad, almost like urine. It's really weird because it only happens when I'm stressed or feeling scared. Im struggling to give my all at work because of it and I'm really worried. What can I do about this?
bad smell sweat like urine during stress requires a multi-faceted approach. Here's a comprehensive plan: Medical Treatment 1. Antiperspirants: Use antiperspirants containing aluminum salts (e.g., aluminum chloride) to reduce sweat. 2. Antibacterial soaps: Use antibacterial soaps to reduce bacteria that contribute to body odor. 3. Deodorants: Apply deodorants containing fragrances or antimicrobial agents to help mask or reduce odor. Lifestyle Changes 1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your body regulate its temperature and sweat more efficiently. 2. Diet: Avoid foods that can make sweat smell worse, such as garlic, onions, or spicy foods. 3. Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, but shower or bathe as soon as possible after exercising. 4. Clothing: Wear breathable, natural-fiber clothing to help keep you cool and dry. 5. Stress management: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises
