Smelly armpit problem

[Kaolccips]

Sometimes my armpits smell worse than normal for a few days.. why is this?
I take showers at least once a day, sometimes 2. Yet on some days, like today, when I'm not even active.. they start to smell half way through the day.

I do have quite a bit of hair under there.. more than most I would say.. I should probably trim that for starters.. But that doesn't explain why sometimes it's fine, and sometimes it's a problem.

(I'm not eating anything different, or doing anything different. It just randomly smells worse somedays.)

Bacteria.

Shave that shit tight with a clippers. You don't have to do it with a razor just a beard trimmer.

When my pit hair gets too long it will smell worse after a day of sweating then when it's short.

deodorant?

i had this issue once when I didn't put any on, i had a thread similar to this too.

Put deodorant on but if you want to use it to your advantage it can be quite helpful.

 

[pontifex]

you're just a freak

 

[Hyperlite]

wait so do you use deodorant/antiperspirant?

 

[Kaolccips]

Wtf.. of course I use deodorant. Old spice High Endurance.
I'd never not use deodorant.

Hopefully it will go away soon as I trim it.

edit: Could it be because I use to much deodorant or something? I do like a swipe up and swipe down on each armpit.. I don't press down hard or anything.. so idk if that would be the problem..

Well there is your problem.

wtf are you talking about?

 

[Kaolccips]

Too much?
Just 1 swipe?

if you visit your primary care doctor or an endocrinologist, they can prescribe you some aluminum chloride lotion to lessen armpit sweating. also, they can check to make sure you don't have a Staph infection

 

[Kaolccips]

Lol I don't have staph infection, and I don't sweat excessively.
You guys are taking this as more than it really is.

(1) You need to use more deodorant ... 1 light swipe just isn't enough.

(2) If using more Old Spice doesn't help I'd suggest switching brands ... Mitchum is ideal for ...erm... stinky folks!

Hence his user name.

There are over the counter prescription strength antiperspirants available now.

Just closely trim or shave your underarms. Deodorant can't reach the skin with all that hair in the way.

lackanookie syndrome...roll your d20+d10 to see how many days you have to live.

 

[Kaolccips]

Like I said.. this only happens sometimes. Normally I don't have any problems whatsoever.. like 95% of the time.. but every once in awhile I'll get smelly armpits for no reason. Guess I'll just trim my stuff up and start using a little more deodorant.

how old are you? could just be a hormone thing you might be trying to attract the ladies with your Gregorian stench, next time your pits smell you should find some local neighborhood jailbait and flap your arms wildly in front of her face...probable sex likely!

But in all seriousness I have smelly pits, the only thing I've found to consistently work was Mitchums (sp?)

lol. Well I'm almost 20.. so yeah.. probably is a little bit of a hormone thing.
But it also is probably like that one guy said.. too much hair, deodorant cant get to the skin.
I'm about to trim it.. ugh.. I did that once and it made it all itchy and .. idk.. it feels really weird.

Botox. And I'd watch out for trimming as it's going to get mighty itchy if you do it too short and that will be worse then smelling all the time.
