What makes arm pits smell toxic?

Question

Sometimes my armpits are so toxic smelling even if I clean clean clean. My urine odor is strong when this happens too. What does it mean?

Answer 1

Bacteria grow and feed in the sweat causing byproducts that stink
use an anti persperant instead of a deodorant. drink more water for the pee problem. You should pee clear to a slight yellow color with little or no odor. Both problems could be caused by what you are eating as well. Asparagus really makes my urine smell.

Answer 2

Your armpits are a damp place where sweat collects and bacteria can grow. You should wash with antibacterial soap and use an antipersperant, not just a deodorant. Deodorants only cover the smell, antipersperants help keep the area dry.
As for the urine, you may have an infection. If there are other symptoms like burning or itching or dull pain, you should be checked out by your doctor. Otherwise, the smell is probably a result of your diet.

Answer 3

Drink lots of water during the day to make sure that your kidneys can do their job properly. Take a sample of urine to your doctor to check for infections.
Buy an antiperspirant specially formulated for heavily perspiring armpits.(but be careful-it brought me out in a rash).The smell is caused by bacteria feeding on the sweat. It could be that you don't smell at all-you just think you do!

Answer 4

some body odor is from physical excersize and some is from nervousness.....my guess is that you are expressing some anxiety through your sweat......

Answer 5

after you clean, clean, clean, use antiperspirant/deodorant
