"Excessive sweating and smell in underarms – need solution - #10125

Pathan furkhan

I have been struggling with underarm smell for the past 5 years. I clean my underarms daily with soap, and it stays fine for 2–3 hours, but after that, the smell comes back. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, but nothing has changed. I feel so embarrassed that I don’t even have the courage to sit near people. 😭 I have tried everything—alum (fitkari), lemon, baking soda—but nothing has helped. I don't have enough money to consult a good doctor. Please sir, help me get rid of this problem. I’m mentally tired and just want to be free from this. 🥺 I am 19 years old, my weight is 52 kg, and I am not overweight.

Underarm odor is often linked to bacteria breaking down sweat, leading to the unpleasant smell. This isn’t directly about how often you wash, but more about how you manage sweat and bacterial growth. Let’s break down a practical approach that may help. Firstly, consider using an antiperspirant instead of a deodorant. Antiperspirants help reduce sweating, which can minimize bacterial breakdown. Apply it at night before bed since it gives the product time to form a plug in sweat ducts. Make sure you’re applying it to completely dry skin. Try to wear loose, breathable clothes made of natural fibers like cotton, as synthetic materials can exacerbate sweating. Regular shaving can help too, as hair can trap sweat and bacteria. Another aspect is diet; spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol might increase sweating, so monitoring these could make a difference. Since home remedies haven’t worked for you, avoid harsh treatments like lemon or baking soda that can irritate your skin. In your case, clinical-grade treatments such as aluminum chloride, available over-the-counter or by prescription, might be more effective for strong body odor. Also consider consulting a GP who may offer affordable solutions, as there are options like topical antibiotics or guidance on a prescription-strength antiperspirant which might be necessary. If cost is a concern, inquire about free or low-cost clinics in your area where you could seek personalized advice. While unlikely, if you notice other symptoms like unexpected weight changes or fatigue, see a professional promptly to rule out any underlying health issues. Taking steps to neutralize bacteria and control sweat should start easing the odor, granting you more confidence in daily interactions.
