My daughter is 12 and sweats in armpits loads with strong odour, nothing kills the odour.what can she use?

Answer 1

Mitchum is fab - if it's really bad, Driclor will prevent perspiration, but I wouldn't recommend it long term. It may be worth considering a change in diet or visiting the doctor just to make sure there isn't an underlying problem.

Answer 2

Hvae u talked with a doctor? I think thats the only answer, you may need a speacial surgery or botox shots in the armpits it dosn't hurt much and reduces sweat! Next time don't get a summer job thats outside. Ask your doctor if you can get a prescription deoderant. Have you asked the boss if you can shower there or ask the otehrs to cut it out . You may possibly have to tell them to look up what you have, or hand out copies on what it is. Try changing your shirts throughout the day and applying powder to at least reduce any oder. This can be contorlled plz talk with a good doctor! Maybe three showers will help in the mean time as well. Don't worry your not alone!

Answer 3

There is a product called, driclor solution that you can get over the counter. I used to use it as a teen. She would put it on every night for two weeks before bed and wash it off in the morning. It pretty much stops you sweating, she may find she won't even need a deoderant. Highly recommended!

Halitosis, bad body odor, smelly feet....all are, alot of times, signs of an unhealthy diet. What does your daughter eat? A 12 year old likes to skip the fruits and veggies and chow on junk. You might want to take a week or two and write down, or have her write down, everything she eats, even it's just two fries and a sip of Coke. Then you can kind of see what she and you need to work on. Then you could try to gradually cut things out of her diet and see if you can get rid of the problem that way. She will most likely be willing to try anything out of fear that she will be made fun of for her smell. Good luck to you both and I hope this helps.

Answer 5

I know it may sound crazy,but try baking soda.If the baking soda is to abrasive,mix it with baby powder and apply generously under the pits.Make sure you wash and dry the area first.She probably likes to eat strong foods or seasonings...that has a tendency of causing sweat to smell stronger.

Answer 6

mitchum is good. but she may have to change eating habits. some foods can cause a bad odor of sweat, including onions and garlic. obviously, before she puts deodorant, she should clean her armpits very well in the shower.

Answer 7

Excessive sweating can be treated with prescription anti-perspirants and if extreme, there is also surgery which can be done. So first stop needs to be your doctor's surgery.
In the meantime, washing twice a day and using a quality anti-perspirant may help.

Answer 8

Try to look at her diet a little more.
Anything strong tasting will probably cause the smells to come out from the body, also try to eliminate as much food additives or processed food in general.
Try to encourage good water drinking habits and cut out fizzy drinks.
more fruit and veg might help.

Answer 9

Mitchum anti perspirants are really good. Botox injections are what celebs use to prevent sweating. See the doctor for a prescribed anti perspirant. Good luck

Answer 10

Does she eat foods with strong odor or I know this is a crazy question but is it possible she's under stress?? Sometime these things contribute to an odor problem. Also try baking soda with maybe suggested deodorant from ? one. Or maybe even a mens' deodorant.
