Ok.. i'm 18 years old and well past puberty. in the past few months i've had really smelly armpits. i shower 2 times a day usually and use a sented anti perspirent. they still smell though, i don't sweat a lot. i shave my armpits every day.... life has been insanely stressful the past 2 months. could that be causing it? no one else notices the smell, but i do and am becoming very self conscious about it all. any remidies or explainations would be greatly appreciated:)

Try another brand of antiperspirant and change between two good brands every time you buy another one. Sometimes the body seems to develop a tolerance for a particular brand so that one no longer works for you.

DO u wash ur clothes often or do you repeatedly wear clothes before washing them. That could be ur problem. IT also sounds more like u are being too self concious if no one else is noticing the scent. Relax but if u still want to do something about it you can always wash ur armpits with lime or vinegar ever so often or use some baking soda on ur armpits to neutralise the scent

What are you a werewolf.Please don't shave anymore.You cant have that much hair growing.Relax it may be stress.Then to with all the shaving you may have cut yourself and caused an infection and that could also smell bad.If this does not help use Tussy.It is a very strong deodorant.

It could be the stress. It could also be a medical condition or something that you're eating. Having lots of onions & garlic lately? You could you be developing an allergy to scented deoderant, your bath soap, or your clothes detergent. Look closely at what has changed in your life since you noticed the increased odor.

Hi Starry, If you are having alot of stress,yes this could cause you to have a stronger smell of the armpits.I think what you will have to do,is get your stress under control.Use your deodorant and them powder your under arms lightly with corn starch and see if that doesn't help you.

Go on a detoxifying diet. Stop drinking everything except water, cut out red meat, dairy and processed sugar. Eat LOTS of raw green veggies, whole grains, lentils, etc. It sounds to me like toxic build-up!

hm.. if what you're saying is true that NO ONE NOTICES THE SMELL.. then I must say you're only having delusions.. I think you might want to consult a psychiatrist... this could be a somatic type of delusional disorder.. mainly the olfactory reference syndrome where you're convinced of having foul body odors..
My suggestion: GO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST..
Hope you follow my advice..;)

Body odours are largely due to diet, are you eating foods that are strong in taste and flavour such as curries. Try foods that aren't so strong and you should find the problem disappears.

If you arent doing it already, could you try wearing clothes that are a little loose around your shoulders and armpits?

I had a friend who did the same thing.She went to the doctor and he told her that it was just a hormone change in her life. There are deodrants out there to help with that.good luck
