Often times, people living with halitosis and bromhidrosis ( mouth and body odor) as fondly called rarely know they are suffering from such conditions. They only notice that people put their faces off whenever they have one on one conversation with them, or they sit far from them while in a gathering. Most of these victims don't get aware because they help such people that keep their distance to attach excuses to their actions. Example; Maybe he saw something that caught his attention during our conversation, or maybe he couldn't maintain eye contact. In a case of a body odor victim, maybe the seat was not good enough, or he moved far to enjoy the comfort of the air conditioner. These and many more excuses are attached unconsciously by a victim.
In cases like this, the only truthful set of people are always the dentists and dermatologists. Do not be disappointed that your intimate friend or family members could be unhappy to tell you the truth, because they are often afraid to see you sad or afraid that your reaction might be unpleasant afterwards. Though some lucky ones have been told but due to self confidence in their level of hygiene, they debunk such truthful saying.
Bromhidrosis, osmidrosis or ozochrotia is a perceived smell our bodies can give when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acid. According to research, sweat itself is almost odorless, but the interference of bacteria result in what we call body odor. Halitosis or bad breath is a perceived foul smell in the mouth which could be caused by the foods we eat and sometimes a sign of a chronic disease, or infection. Most times, oral, nasal and throat infection could tamper with the breath of victims, and same goes to body odor victims, diseases such as fungi and bacteria cause major chronic body offensive smell aside poor hygiene. Intakes such as garlic, coffee, cigarette and caffeine also go a long way in adding to a victim's predicament.
The safest prescriptive measure a victim of either of these two conditions should take is to see a dentist in the halitosis ( mouth odor) case, and visit a dermatologist in the bromhidrosis ( body odor) case. Everyone either bond or free should visit their hospitals often for check up, and we should make it a point of duty to politely tell the victims around us to visit their doctors. We cannot rule out the position of good personal hygiene. We should endeavour to brush twice daily, and avoid sugar gums and foods. A body odor victim should cultivate a habit of bathing everyday and after every rigorous exercise and also shave his or her pubic areas that could harbour germs, and wash their clothings very well (underwears and other body attachments). Antiperspirant and deodorant can help to manage the body smell, as well as plenty intake of water.
MOST CHALLENGES WE FACE CONCERNING OUR HEALTH, OUR AWARENESS/IGNORANCE DICTATE WHEN WE GET CURED OR HOW LONG THEY LINGER.
