» lenagraham2001 - Armpit Odor
Hello,I am a 31 year old female and I have never had a body odor problem til now. I am extremely clean, take showers daily and use anti-bacterial soap. I do work out everyday, but right after I take a shower. I have used every single kind of deoderant/anti-persperant out there. I shave all the normal places a girl should shave..armpit and legs. I eat a very good diet, lots of fruit and veggies. I also eat red meat, but not a lot. I usually eat chicken or turkey. The thing that really changed me, was that about 8 months ago, I went on the Adkins Diet. I ate only protein and no carbs. Since then my body chemistry has totally changed. Is it possible that Adkins diet is responsible for this? I can think of no other reason. Is there any medication or topical creams I could use? Should I consult my doctor or my dermotologist?
Thank you.

» mommyof003 - armpit odor
I have never had an odor problem until I was pregnant with my third child. The deodorant that I used failed to work. I tried a different one and that seemed to help. Now that I've had the baby, the deodorant that I switched to is not working. I tried to go back to the previous deodorant and that didn't work. I tried a different one and that made me break out. I take daily showers (sometimes two) and I always use deodorant. I am at a total loss of what to do. Does this maybe have something to do with my hormones due to having the baby? What should I do?-- posted by mommyof003

In response to message posted by mommyof003:It probably is due to your being pregnant. There are a large number of different deodorants available. I would try a few more brands. You might consider using an antiperspirant/deodorant. The increased perspiration during pregnancy maybe part of the problem. Antiperspirants are more irritating so watch carefully for outbreaks on your skin and quit using the product if you have a problem. Hope that helps.

Dr. Chamberlain:Like some others posted before me, I have noticed a odor under my arms - just started about 1.5 years ago and I'm 29. I've tried all types of anti\deods and only one has helped a little (Dove) with sweating but the odor comes back after a couple of hours. I shower twice a day with Lever soap. I'm going to try a anit\deod advertised on the internet called Maxim...do you recommend I see my doctor about the odor? Thank you for any info you may have.

In response to message posted by lenagraham2001:I couldn't believe it when I read the postings on this site. I am a 30 year old female who has been having this problem for months now. I also have tried everything, different deoderants/anti-persperants etc. and nothing seems to work! I am extremely frustrated since I am also a very clean person. I also work out and eat like you do, however I have never been on the Adkins Diet. I cannot think of anything that I have done different to cause this problem. I have asked my doctor and he has no advice for me!!! If anyone ever figures it out please email me!!!
