When you perspire, your body is releasing toxins and you are also depleting salt levels and dehydrating (to some extent) Depending on the toxins in your body the smell of sweat will be effected. Notice that sometimes you sweat and smell nothing. Also wearing polyester really makes armpits stink. Dont know why, must have something to do with the chemicals in polyester.

Your armpits are a humid place the place sweat collects and micro organism can strengthen. you will desire to bathe with antibacterial cleansing soap and use an antipersperant, no longer purely a deodorant. Deodorants only conceal the scent, antipersperants help shop the section dry. As for the urine, you have got an infection. If there are different indications like burning or itching or uninteresting soreness, you will desire to be regarded at with the aid of your generic practitioner. in any different case, the scent is in all probability a consequence of your weight loss application.

When you sweat the bacteria under your arm consumes the sweat and then defecates. the smell is their waste.
although I don't know why people have different armpit smells

sweat is merely salt and water.. it does not have any distinct smell. what causes the stench is bacteria on the skin that eats the sweat and excretes waste that has a very strong odor. hence the smell.

Your ArmPit like your head contain's Sebaceous gland's that produce Sebum, basically consisting of fat, keratin, and cellular material, this oil like substance gets trapped in a dark moist enviroment, thats what creates the smell.

It's caused by bacteria that live underneath your arm and digest the sweat and dead skin cells that collect there.

the odor is a by product of when the bacteria react with and metabolize your sweat

Sweat itself is odorless, but when it contacts the bacteria in your armpits...that's when the "magic" starts
