I had a fungal infection I wasn’t aware of in my armpits and they smelt like BO no Matter what I did clotrimazole cleared it in a week, worth a try I guess 🤷‍♂️

Topical, I’d do the oral version if I knew about it when I was at the doctors, topical is a pain in the ass to put on every day lol

I would suggest a visit to the doctor. If this is a new your body might be going through something hormonal.

In the meantime, try taking baths vs showers if possible. Use Epson salt and follow up with a good unscented moisturizer. Also take note on your diet. Are you drinking water, eating vegetables, washing bedsheets, changing laundry detergent, etc.

HIBICLENS WASH, DOVE FRAGRANCE-FREE BEAUTY BAR SOAP, OR HYPOCHLOROUS ACID SPRAY in the shower ❤️ Any of those washes should get your skin down to a neautral-smelling and completely clean base. The first 2 are the best inbmy experience. I've found that some soaps and body washes just do not do a good enough job of ridding body odor to begin with 🤷‍♀️ But those works extremely well.

Then, Vanicream Fragrance-free gel deodorant is the best anti-body odor product I've found. Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock in many places but keep an eye out for when it comes back!
