My daughter and body odor?

Question

My 10yr old daughter's armpits stink to HIGH Heavens! Every morning she takes a shower, totally dries off, then puts on her deodorant. Yet when she comes home from school, she stinks. It doesn't matter if she has gym (deodorant is in her gym locker too) or not. We've even tried showering at night, but that didn't help either. She woke up with smelly pits.

We've tried Teen Spirit, Secret, Degree, Lady Mitchum - all sticks or gels. I was wondering...would a spray her more? My only other wonder is if my cooking low-carb meals could be a factor? I have to cook low carb for my blood sugars (dr. recommended). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. =^)

Answer 1

you need to go old school and get her some Tussie. also buy some scented hand santizer and tell her during the day go to the bath room and wipe her armpit dry then rub on some of the scented hand santizer. This will stop the smelly armpits it work. while i was in iraq the heat got so bad that you had to wash twice a day and if you did not have a chance to do that i would use the hand santizer. when i was small i had the bad armpits too and my mom made me use tussie

Answer 2

First of at night when she takes a shower make sure she scrubs with soap on a washcloth and water. Bar soap works the best. The I would use the Certain Dri product which can be purchased at harmons or cvs or walgreens. She should put that on at night, so it shrinks the glands overnight. Then in the morning put on a product called Under Army-by bliss. Some women swear by this product as well as Certain Dri. Those are the ones I here that work the best.

Answer 3

I observed an episode on Mysterious diagnosis and there grew to become right into a woman who smelled rather undesirable, she grew to become into finally clinically determined with some distance greater desirable than Trimethylamine in her urine. it particularly is a metabolic the place the liver can't technique the trimethylamine, a certainly occuring micro organism interior the intestines right. it particularly is led to via liver or kidney ailment or severe quantities of a chemical choline which the physique will become trimethylamine. there is not any treatment yet some nutritional differences can help. ward off salt water fish, egg yolks, liver, kidney , and legumes. i'm no longer a doctor so i could recommend you bypass to yours. this must be waiting to grant you some inquiries to ask. i'm hoping this permits.

Hi!
Does your daughter experience a lot of stress? What you describe might not be the signs of a physical ailment but rather a mental/emotional one. Malodorous perspiration is also associated with an onset of depression.
These are only pointers, so it would be best if you talked to a doc.
In the meantime, I would suggest you try to monitor the severity: does she perspire more when she feels stressed, or under pressure? Is the odor stronger in these situations, or at certain times during the day?
Has your daughter reached puberty yet, and has a hard time coping with it? She is still young, so it strikes me as unusual for a child her age (pre-pubescent?) to be using deodorant.
Please consult a professional.
Hope this helps a bit...

No, I don't think it's your cooking. My daughter also is the same, only it's not just her underarms, but her feet also. Right out of the shower too. I've tried everything known to man...powders, creams, sticks, foot soaks, Odor Eaters (she killed them the first day) and a host of "guaranteed" items. All failed. I've learned that there are just people who can't get the smell gone. They, as well as the rest of us, will just have to accept them as they are. It's hard, especially for a kid, but unless I've missed some magic formula, there's nothing that helps. One thing I haven't done is taken her to a doctor, so see if there's some medical reason for the odors. While my daughter is now grown, her odor has not gone away, and she relies heavily on body sprays and men's deodorants, which are stronger. It's really difficult to feel feminine when you have those kinds of odors. Maybe the doctors know what causes it, and how it can be stopped. <*)))><

Answer 6

Try using a male deoderant. They are stronger, last longer, and cheaper. If they stank that bad, go for it, it might be weird for her, but get the kind with the stripe. (extra defense) and you should be ok. What I found was that the body sprays work good for armpits too. Like Ax for men, after walking or gym, spray under arms and by the time your home its not smelly. I believe they make girl kinds too. Well hope this helps! Good Luck! : ) Oh, dont make your daughter think she smells all the time. It will lower her self esteem! Think about it.

Answer 7

I would try a man's deodorant like Speed Stick or Old Spice. They are stronger and may work better for her. You may try having your daughter shave under her arms. If she has any hair at all, that may be the problem. I don't think low carbs would have anything to do with it. Also, try that deodorant spray that they sell in the feminine hygiene isle. Try changing soaps, everything. Good luck.

Answer 8

try using an antiperspirant instead of just a deodorant
her body could be having a chemical reaction to the ingredients in the deodorants
if all else fails ask your doctor

Answer 9

Have you checked her deodorant to make sure that it is an anti-perspirant? The odor comes from sweat mixing with bacteria that is on the outside of the body. Anti perspirants stop the production of sweat by closing the pores, and deodorant is only a perfume to mask the odor. Also, there are prescription anti perspirants available, as well. Talk to her doctor/pediatrician. I'm not sure if they're available to prescribe to patients that young or not. Good luck!

Answer 10

There are some non-prescription pills/vitamins that you can get called Body Deoderant. They are all natural (no chemicals) and were developed in Hawaii for just such problems. You take 2 in the morning and 2 at night - it helps with all kinds of bodily smells. If she's sweating a lot too, she may have a condition that makes her sweat a lot. Many people have it - it's no big deal, and the doctor can prescribe a stronger deoderant for her.
