Persistent Underarm odor despite shower

2023-11-30 19:47:47
Even after I shower, my underarms still have a bad smell. I’m not sure why this keeps happening. Could it be because of bacteria? If it is, is there a cream that can fix it? I have a trip planned with friends in a week that lasts for 15 days, and I really don’t want this issue to make me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable around them. I would appreciate your advice on what might be causing this and if there’s something I can do to stop it. Thank you so much for your help.
