Body odor , bad smell under her arm

2017-08-21 15:30:54
My daughter has developed body odor since 2 months. Under her arm. It smells really bad. In the internet it says as if it's a big problems. I want to make sure that if I need to show this to doctor. Or is it normal. I dress up always in fully covered t shirt and pants as she has papular urticaria. Is it just because of the humid weather she has the smell underarms. Need to know. Thanks

Body odour is due to bacterial action on sweat,and the intensity depends on amount of sweat,which is naturally more in skin fold areas like armpits and groin. Just keep area as dry as possible. Use deodorant if it's troubling you or her.
