One arm pit stinks awhile the other does not. Both of them sweat but again that one arm pit smells. I know it has to do with bacteria developing and such but would they not just grow on the other arm pit as well? Its wierd I realize but i am looking for some causes that could explain this better? I have studied anatomy and taken many bio courses though i can not come up with a reason

One armpit pobably does have a fungal infection, the best thing to do is put lotrimin cream on it (athletes foot cream). Twice a day for maybe 10 days. If it doesn't get better, then talk to your doc.

Bacteria causes the odor -- maybe you have more motivated bacteria in one pit than the other.
Try lavender oil -- a few drops straight (patch test, because the armpit is *not* a place you want an allergic reaction). Oh, and to make sure you don't cross-infect the other one, wash the non-smelly one first, and leave the smelly one for later.

Although bacteria, as you state, does cause the problem, look at this logically. Remember, you can place two pieces of bread on a petry (I'm not sure how to spell it--sorry) dish on the same day. Although you used the same conditions, the production from those conditions will vary slightly no matter what.

you can try antibacterial soap. You could shave the hair. Try not to use any deodorant for a while until the cause of the smell clears up. You could use rubbing alcohol. Soulds like your pours need to be clean very well. Ivory soap, or Dial.

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!

If you're right handed, your right pit doesn't get as good as a wash. Probably less deodorant too.
