Dark underarms and body odour
My underarm skin is a lot darker than the rest of my body. I haven't been using deodorants or antiperspirants since a long time since I feared that is what was causing the darkness. However there has been no change in the color. I also have a body odour issue which started during pregnancy and has continued post delivery. Even after bathing my underarms still smell. I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago but have since had a baby and as per my gynaecologist, the issue clears up after having a child. Please advise.
