I have horrible under arm odor. I dont sweat, or perspire. I have read that the cause is bacteria, and I have been using a paste of baking soda and water after I shower. It HAS controlled the odor but it irritates my skin and burns. Please help.

A daily shower is more beneficial than just a soapy wash cloth and rinse. Could be a fungus, in which case Lotrimin would help. Lotrimin powder or cream is available; ask your pharmacist.
I believe we all lose moisture through the skin, although in dry climates a person might think they don't perspire. That's the way the body gets rid of some chemicals it doesn't want.

I usually rub some alcohol there. I even begin to sweat after one hour of my morning shower, as it is very hot at our work place. I change my blouse every day, and If I don't rub that alcohol, I would certainly smell.
I know it's not very healthy to rub the isopropyl alcohol, but I couldn't find something better yet.

There are many gentle deodorants on the market for sensitive skin. You can experiment with different ones until you find one you are comfortable with and will keep you smelling clean. You can also check with a doctor, preferably a skin doctor. Good luck.

Have you tried one of those deodorant crystals? They are all natural and seem to combat the odor and sweat. Maybe you are immune to all the chemicals you have applied to your underarm. Sometimes, you have to change up your antiperspirant from time to time to avoid becoming immune.

EVERYONE sweats, regardless of how little. Otherwise your body would overheat. How often you change your clothes, and also the materials used in the clothes you wear, could also be a factor. Where possible wear clothes made of natural fibres, such as linen, cotton & wool. If you are meticulous about your personal hygiene, then I would suggest you see your doctor about possible causes and cures.

If your a guy, believe it or not you should cut the underarm hair very short. That cuts down on sweat buildup and cuts down on use of deodorant also.
