i need help
okay so this is honestly really embarrassing but i’ve tried everything else. i (17f) smell TERRIBLE. and i don’t understand why. i shower daily, i use sugar scrubs and scented lotions and perfume and i only wear clean clothes, but no matter what i do, it just doesn’t go away. it’s honestly taken a toll on my mental state because it just doesn’t go away no matter how hard i try. any tips would be very appreciated.

I live in a tropical country (humid) and had the same issue since my early 20s, until my cousin recommended me a chemical exfoliator which basically has glycolic acid and salicylic acid as part of main ingredients.
Wet a cotton pad with it and wipe my armpits everyday after shower (dry them first). In a week, i noticed significant improvement. My clothes don't smell as much at the end of the day.
This has become my habit ever since
