Answer 1

Ok. I have been in a similar situation. I noticed at work that every now and then I'd just start having an aroma. It turns out, it was my SHIRT.

Here's the deal:

You may not be sweating much, but you're probably perspiring a little.

Now, think about what's happening. You're combining your body chemistry with chemicals in your deoderant, chemicals in your laundry detergent and then with the materials in your clothes.

Now, if this is happening every day no matter what you wear, we know it isn't the clothes. Make sure you are rinsing ALL the soap off when you shower and consider putting your clothes through a double rinse to get every last bit of detergent out.

Don't OD on deoderant, just one layer is enough, dont' have to use half a can. Try a roll on vs spray on.

Also, watch what you eat. Garlic and onions seep out through sweat glands adding to the mix, and foods like beans, broccoli, and even fruit can produce gas and help add to odors.

Try altering a few habits and see if it improves. Different bar soap, body soaps, shampoos even, new deoderants, detergents, extra rinses etc.

In the mean time, try an odor eliminatory spray. There's this stuff called Approach. You can get it online at www.approachit.net it is GREAT stuff. Saved me from a few embarassing odors. It'll help do the job while you figure out what the source is.

first of all are u a girl or guy?...thats odd....if you sweat alot try using some talc or baby powder under your arms and between place where you sweat alot, it makes you feel alot cooler...if ur a girl shave your armpits.....wash your hair thoroughly...when showering, take your time and lather up, don't rush....try a better deoderant not the cheap ones...Mitchum and Degree are good ones...soak your feet once in a while and clean your toes with a little brush, clip you toenails......staying clean is really simple...a nice body wash/soap and water is really the major things you need...unless you have and angry pet skunk or something....shower at least three times a day if u can..morning noon and night.

note* try using a wash cloth or a bath sponge when washing your self that way all the dirth comes off. wear clean clothing also....if your neck is stinky put aftershave on it...but always cary around some kind of wipes with you..it will help alot

If you are just having a problem with the underarms... then all you need is a deodorant called Certain Dri, it works great. And you can find it at places like walmart, Target....

But if you are talking about all over body odor, then you need to keep a watch on what you eat..do you eat a lot of onions, garlic, and spices with your food??? if so then you need to lower your intake of the specified items... If not, then the best thing to do is to consult with a dermatologist...sometimes it's a medical issue that they can easily resolve for you.

If it's just your underarm area, the certain dri will for sure work for you... it worked great for me it eliminated odor and sweating!

Answer 4

Believe it or not Listerine put on the areas that smell will help. It is an old wives tell but my grandmother swore by it. Also Botox if you have excessive sweating. Insurance will cover in most cases. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Use anti-bacterial soap to wash, and use an anti-perspirant and a body powder. If these don't help at all, visit your doctor, you may need medicine of some type.

Answer 6

Bathe in warm/not water and melt Epsom Salt into the water, this will open the pour and cleanse them. My husband has the same problem in the summer time.

Answer 7

you can go to a dermatologists and they can prescribe botox for under the arms so that the excessive sweating will be reduced or in some cases gone completely

Answer 8

Talk to your doctor...there are prescription deodorants for people in your situation...worse case scenario, he will recommend botox to paralyze your sweat glands...also, use powder to keep dry, or carry around baby wipes to freshen up midday...keep extra powder and deodorant with you...

Answer 9

Definetly go see your doctor. This is a way more common problem then you would believe and it's easily treatable once they find the correct solution.

Answer 10
