Eccrine sweat generally contributes less to odor because its water content dilutes the bacterial concentration, though it can contribute to "brinsy" smells if left on the skin long enough for bacterial action to occur.
High-stress moments trigger the apocrine glands. sweat glands in armpit
This condition is characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is required for thermoregulation. Eccrine sweat generally contributes less to odor because
The human body has a unique thermoregulatory system that enables it to maintain a stable internal temperature despite changes in external temperature. One of the key components of this system is the sweat gland, also known as the sudoriferous gland. There are two types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine glands. The armpit, also known as the axilla, is one of the areas of the body with the highest concentration of sweat glands. In this paper, we will discuss the anatomy and physiology of sweat glands in the armpit, their functions, and the importance of these glands in maintaining body temperature. The human body has a unique thermoregulatory system

This is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease.
Apocrine glands are largely confined to specific regions of the body, including the axilla, the areola of the breast, the groin, and the perianal region. They are significantly larger than eccrine glands.
