» Arash_Dentist - Bacterias...
M.Chamberlain, you are right I think the same bacterias that we have on our skin are present in the armpits... Staphylcoccus epidermidis is the one that I've heard the most of, and worked with them a lot too!Indeed, our body's bacterian flora is very important for the body... for instance, when a baby is born, he drinks his mom's milk which contains bacterias that will decrease infection and contamination risks by other bacterias.

» Sheik_Abhi - Armpit Bacteria in Indian Women
I have noticed that the underarm skin of females from India becomes dark and bacterial-fungal ridden. Indian women do not use antipersperant and deoderants at all (only .0001% of the population does) and due to which the armpits are smelly and manifested with epidermal bacteria, so much so that sometimes the sweat trickles down to the breats and during coeitus and sucking of the breasts, the stench of sweat and the sour taste of bacteria can be experienced. Medical research studies have shown that an aversion towards Indian women living in India is taking place subconsciously in the minds of well travelled and rich Indian men, and they prefer white caucasian women for this reason alone.Any suggestions??

» NealC - You are correct breast milk is sterile.
You are correct breast milk is sterile. When the baby sucks on the breast organisms on the skin will also be consumed with the milk.An aid to Indian women wanting to attract well traveled Indian men would be to encourage them to daily wash their armpits with soap and water. They might also consider using antiperspirants or deodorants.

» kat_mc - beneficial bacteria
I am an artist working on a project about beneficial or benign microorganisms that live in or or our bodies. I am having a great deal of trouble, as most of the easily available literature focuses on parasites. I would greatly appreciate any direction.-- posted by kat_mc
» NealC - Removal for underarm hair may aid in eliminating the odor.
Removal for underarm hair may aid in eliminating the odor. Also using a stronger disinfecting agent might help. The waterless hand washing solution available in stores might help. However, don't use this product after shaving the underarm hair. The active ingredient in this waterless hand disinfectant is alcohol and it would cause a lot of irritation. Another disinfectant that could be used is the brown colored solution used when you give blood called betadine. It contains iodine and is a very good disinfectant. In some cases people have body odor that is not due to organisms on their skin and this may not be of any help.-- posted by NealC
» DLJCOOK - Re: Removal for underarm hair may aid in eliminating the odor.
In response to message posted by NealC:I also have a armpit odor problem. I have tried everything that any one has suggested: antibacterial soaps, antibiotic solutions(topical) anitbacterial deoderants, crystal deoderants, scented and unscented antiperspirants/deoderants. Detox programs, stop eating all meat except seafood and chicken. Frankly, this is starting to wear me down. I didn't have this problem until around 17 or 18 yrs old, and it has continually gotten worst over the years.I am 28 now and in excellent shape. I also have eczema problem as well. It also starting getting worst around the same time. I can't help but wonder,did the steroids precsribed to me for my eczema cause this armpit odor problem? If you have any insight on this, pleeease reply!!!!
Thanks,
Desperately seeking help!
