Summary

* Background: Axillary osmidrosis is a common skin disease characterized by an unpleasant odor produced when secretions from apocrine sweat glands in the armpits are decomposed by bacteria on the skin. It affects people's social interactions and psychology. Gold microneedle is a method for treating axillary osmidrosis, which achieves the therapeutic purpose by destroying the glands through radiofrequency heating. However, it remains unknown whether different movement patterns have an impact on the therapeutic effect and adverse reactions. * Purpose and expected outcomes: This study intends to prospectively collect patients with axillary osmidrosis who visit our hospital, randomly divide them into the horizontal row movement, vertical row movement and mixed movement pattern groups, evaluate the efficacy and occurrence of adverse reactions, and further understand the impact of different microneedle movement patterns on the treatment of axillary osmidrosis. * Design and methods: Patients who visit our hospital and are willing to receive gold microneedle treatment will be randomly divided into the horizontal row movement, vertical row movement and mixed movement pattern groups. A disposable sterile gold microneedle treatment head will be installed, and different parameters will be set according to the elasticity of the patient's underarm skin and the thickness of subcutaneous fat. The entire radiofrequency treatment area will be covered using horizontal row movement, vertical row movement and mixed movement patterns respectively. All three groups will be closely followed up after the operation; during each follow-up, patients will be required to perform the same exercise load as before the operation to evaluate the therapeutic effect and recurrence.
