There is a product out there calle Sure-Dry. It actually blocks the sweat glands in your armpits from releasing sweat - and therefor you have NO ODOR.
Yes, it's safe - you have MILLIONS of sweat glands on your body - blocking up a few won't kill you!!!
You can also shave your armpits - men with more armpit hair tend to have more odor - the smell sticks to the hair. Think about it, if you're bald, does your head stick? NOPE.
Simplest thing - shower daily and make sure you wash your armpits thoroughly to get the old deodorant off. Then, dry your pits well and apply an anti-persperant with deodorant. (Anti-persperants stop sweating, but not always the odor!)
Good luck!

Sweat is basically urine - its the same basic waste product used to cool the body, when bacteria get to work on it in a nice warm, moist place (armpit), they produce their own waste products which cause the smell.
Wash morning and evening with a good deodorant soap. Shield is excellent.
DONT use anti perspirant, it clogs the pores, use a good body spray - the alcohol content also kills off the bacteria that survive washing.
So you want to stop the bacteria, not the sweat.
If you find that there is a residual smell even after washing, trim the hair (dont shave it), and wipe the area with surgical alcohol - it kills everything.

Wash thoroughly everyday with a decent shower gel, use an anti-perspirant, if you are still sweating or smelling then go to your GP and he or she will check you for any underlying medical problems!

Wash with soap and water, dry with a clean towel, apply a product that says anti perspirant and deodorant. Men usually do not shave their underarm hair. ~GL

Showering and deodorant should do the trick, but if sweatines is also a problem opt for anti-perspirant...

Use deodorant, and don't forget take a shower as many as you can. And the most important is do not do an extreme move or sport b'cause sweting is the only problem.

You should buy antiperspirant deodorant, not just a plain deodorant. And only go to the doctor after you try a regular over the counter antiperspirant. Remember, deodorant only covers the smell, antiperspirant actually stops you from sweating.
