Family Doctor | 'In School That Was Where Hell Was' | Hellen's Journey Living with Bromhidrosis

Fresh sweat is naturally odorless, but when moisture interacts with skin bacteria, it can lead to severe, persistent body odor—a medical condition known as Bromhidrosis. Beyond the physical symptoms, living with Bromhidrosis often brings intense social anxiety, bullying, and psychological distress. In this episode of Family Doctor, we unpack Living with Bromhidrosis. We follow Hellen’s emotional journey from her teenage years in school, facing isolation and confusion, to finally receiving a proper medical diagnosis. Dermatopathologist Dr. Daniel explains the biological role of apocrine sweat glands and skin bacteria, while Martin, founder of Hyperhidrosis Awareness Kenya, highlights patient advocacy and the urgent need for specialized sweat clinics and accessible care. #Bromhidrosis #FamilyDoctor #HyperhidrosisAwarenessKenya #BreakTheStigma Subscribe to our YouTube channel and turn on your post notifications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch our full shows on: https://www.familymediaonline.com Stream Family TV online on: https://www.familymedia.tv Stream Family Radio online on: https://www.familyradio316.com Stream Radio 316 online on: https://www.radio316.co.ke ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family TV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TBNFamilyTVKenya/ X: https://x.com/FamilyMediaTV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familymediakenya/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family Radio 316 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/familyradioke/ X: https://x.com/FamilyRadioKe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #FamilyTV #FamilyRadio #Radio316
