I totally disagree about that because it depends on your lifestyle on how to manage it… i know that my words are not just as powerful as those who write well but but believe me guys! This helps you a lot to get rid of this. Ok
Tips to stop body odor #1 – Knowledge
Have knowledge about body odor and all things that about it…
Situation:
When you wake up in the morning, think about something that will make you happy. Ok
Why?
When you think of happy memories your body temperature regulate to cool temperature. If you think something bad you are getting nervous; your body shakes and your temperature becomes high that will lead to excessive sweating.
Note:
Sweating is the normal body response to our daily activity.
There are two types of sweat glands:
1. Eccrine glands
2. Apocrine glands
Eccrines glands are sweats glands that found around the body. they produce sweat usually clear secretion composed of:
-Water plus some salt(Na = sodium chloride)
-Vitamin C
-Metabolic waste such as ammonia, urea, uric acid
-Lactic acid = chemical produces during heavy muscle activities.
This is also called as body’s heat-regulator
which supplied with nerve endings that cause them to secrete sweat when external temperature or body temperature is high so when sweat evaporates off the skin surface, it carries large amount of body heat with it. So in hot day drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
Apocrine glands are sweat gland that usually found in axillary (underarm), and genital areas of the body. This galnd is usually larger than Eccrine gland and their ducts empty into hair follicle. The sweat is compose of:
-Fatty acids
-Protien
-and the sweat composition of eccrine glands.
This is usually or may have milky or yellowish color. The secretion of apocrine gland is ODORLESS, but when the bacteria in the surface of the skin use the proteins and fats as source of nutrients for their growth, it develops a musky unpleasant odor.
Apocrine glands begin to function in puberty age in both sexes but usually in males because of the influence of androgens (a male sex hormone) although both sexes have this hormone in male the level of androgen is high compared to female is low.
Tip #2 – Smell youself
Smell yourself from underarm to you genitals.
Why?
Because the bacteria usually accumulates in this part that causes body odor.
Tip #3 Take a bath
if you smells something unpleasant….
take a bath immediately to get rid of unpleasant odor….
When you take a bath get a clean towel or scrubber to scrub you body especially in your underarm and your groin and genitals…. wash this part with soap..
in buying soaps, buy a soap that has ingredients that stops and kill the bacteria usually labeled as skin germ protection soaps……
do not buy soap that has a high level of perfume and alcohol. do not use soups that has a moisturizing effect. because if you use this in your underarm the skin will not be dry.
Tips to stop body odor #4 – Deodorants
Use deodorants not only antiperspirant but also antibacterial…..
Do not use dedorants that are high in perfume because as you notice you smells like deodorant and meanwhile became foul.
Do not use deodorant that has a high level of alcohol if you dont want to have black underarm.. because to much dryness can cause skin cell to die and meanwhile become a bacteria that promotes body odor..
I know you became confuse let me elaborate…
Deodorants that has a antibacterial and antiperspirant effect will keep and stops the sweating activity in the underarm for 24 or 48 hours and the feeling is fresh because no bacteria is presence and also the food of the bacteria…
While deodorant with high level of perfume and alcohol can cause you underarm to irritate that will lead to allergic reactions.. and causes you underarm to have cuts because of to much dryness.. the cuts will cause foul smell because it is an open wound and the foul smell fuse to perfume unwanted pleasant occurs….. get it ok!!!!!

3. soaked you clothes for 30 min to 1 hour
4. after 30 min to 1 hour.. wash your clothes with your hands by rubbing it vigorously.. or use a net to scrub it especially in the underarm area and you underwear……
5. then soak again in 30 min to 1 hour..
6. after 30 min to 1 hour wash again 3x
7. let it dry in under the sun..
8. iron you clothes, take not especially in the underarm area… if you iron it the bacteria will die in heat.. but after ironing and you smell unpleasant odor you did not wash your clothes neatly…
Always remember…
do not use fabric conditioner because the underarm natural odor will fuse and unpleasant odor occurred…
If your using washing machine always scrub the underarm area of you shirt….
Do not wash your clothes if the sun is not their especially in rainy days because the insect will nest in wet area of you clothes especially mosquitos, and the insect is dirty and full of bacteria that will transfer to your clothes.

Hi, I have a rare situation because when I get nervous or anxious I sweat through my scalp opposed to armpits. Since there is no Deodorant for the scalp, it kinda sucks because there’s no way of masking the smell.
What do you suggest I should do? I tried using Drysol on my scalp and that just caused pimples…do you have any suggestions or tips?
wow.. while i am reading this.. i thought i was the one who wrote it.. because i’ve been suffering from the same problem for many years. I’ve been reading about the cause, treatments and how to avoid it and I end up doing everything that you adviced us to do..but one important step that I did not see is that … I pre-treat them with white vinegar. at least an hour before washing them, I soak the underarm area with white vinegar then handwash the underarm area before I put them in the washer.. it works for me.. i hope this helps other people too.

i need help…i didnt start smelling until about a year ago…i’m 26, so not puberty…i have bad anxiety which gets me sweating, but been dealing with that for years and the sweat never bothered me. no big change in diet, although always constipated. my feet and armpits are the worse. i shower twice a day and in the matter of hours i’m sweating. it has taken over my life, i’m a hermit now due to it. could there be any underlying health problems or do i need an enema or what. i have no idea what to do. if anyone can help i can more in depth but for now…this will work
I wonder if this could be a medical condition
