why do our arm Pitts smell even if u put deodorant on?

Answer 1

deodorant only covers up the smell. try using anti-perspirant

Answer 2

There can be a few reasons for that ... one is that the deoderant is not an anti-perspirant. The odor comes from the sweat / perspiration that makes the underarm wet, and the culmination of germs and bacteria under the arm which feeds and grows in the sweat (and darkness) of the underarm begin to multiply. This is how the odor starts. If the deoderant does not try to help with the perspiration, then it will smell whether you have on deoderant or not.

Also, it's possible that the underarm is not free from the bacteria. Every once in a while, the underarm has to be cleaned with something a bit stronger than soap, like shampoo. For those who use anti-perspirants, and find that they have to "change" their anti perspirant because it doesn't seem to work anymore, try this: When it stops working, wash the underarm throroughly with shampoo, and use the deoderant again, and see if that works. Just wash it that one time with the shampoo, and resume using soap from that point forward. It seems to work pretty well.

Answer 3

Body odor is a combination of "personal chemistry" and bacteria (Staphylococcus Epidermidis in the case of arm pits). Arm pits make for the perfect bacterial breeding ground, as well as other warm and moist areas on the body (toes and crotch areas).

Keeping the area dry, by using talcum powder or anti-perspirants, reduces the moistness that is needed by the bacteria. Using deodorants helps because they usually contain chemicals and/or alcohols that make the area somewhat less bacteria-inhabitable as well.

Answer 4

Body odor develops in the underarms due in part to the waste products of microorganisms that feed on sebum, the fatty secretions produced by sebaceous glands.

Answer 5

via the indisputable fact that is a depressing moist section it really is the favourite position for micro organism to advance and micro organism reason foul odors. yet another darkish moist section will be contained in the groin even if the tissue contained in the groin and espessially the the peri section is distinct then the axillary (less than the palms) and is amazingly comfortable to deoderants and perfumes and they might reason a rash in this section. in case you pick to save the groin section dry and clean smelling then for females use a femine deoderant for this section and for adult males perchance a mild dusting of cornstarch.

Answer 6

The sweat seems to "react" with the hair - if you are shaved there or at least have much less hair, the smell will practically disappear.

Answer 7

deodorant just masks the smell, its just a perfume... use anti-perspirant too reduce sweating, hence the smell.

Answer 8

depends on the product.

Deodorants only cover the smells, and antiperspirants stop the sweating.

No matter though, some products just work better than others.

Hair will also affect it, the hairier, the smellier

Answer 9

Because you haven't removed the foul agent that creates the smell, bacteria.
