What Can I Do About My Body Odour? by Reachable: 2:46pm On Dec 11, 2020
Hi all, I noticed I started developing body ordour under armpit in particular.
First time I noticed it was like more than a decade ago, then was in my 20s.
So I started using medicated soaps and deodorants, at first it was a big challenge getting the one that worked for me because once I start sweating I notice that it will overpower most deodorants I used but one worked for me which is (sure for men the long one).
After some years I noticed I always have boils under my armpits as a result of high usage until a nurse adviced to stop using deodorants that it can lead to skin cancer, at first I didn't knew the cause of my constant boils was the deodorant until she told me and I stopped I noticed the boils just died off.
So I started using them again but this time sparingly, until I stopped using them like some years ago.
I was fine especially if I didn't sweat much during the day, the only thing I noticed was that if I don't shave on time I will have armpit odour or after shaving my armpits the odour will come again for some days then stop.
I was managing it like that, but was making sure I bath at least twice a day or as much I can in a day.

Recently, I was more of staying at home these days unless I have job to do outside.
Only for me to start noticing the armpit odour again, shaved and bath as much as I can yet it won't stop.

My armpits always smell like a per boiled onions some moments after bathing, I have been managing it with explorer sometimes it works depending on my activities for the day.
But it's peeling the skin under my armpits and it's hurting besides it give me boils.
Please help, what can I do?

Why not visit a dermatologist, this could be your skin secreting these bad odour, maybe due to allergy or abnormal hormone levels.

Get lemon, cut in two and use it to rub ur armpit after bathing it has drying effect which will control excessive sweating thereby eliminating d odour.

I noticed that most of the people that are using bleaching/skin lighting cream have one body odor or another.
If by chance you are using any of the so called skin lighting cream, i will advise you to give it a break and go natural perhaps by using shea butter(refined one) but if there is no any positive change after three weeks then it might be an internal issue which requires the attention of an expert.

Hot movate,
Caro White
White Secret among others.
You see these creams listed above are fountain of body odor most expecially that white secret; what baffles me most is why those using it are not aware of it, while some do not noticed it because they use aromatic soap, perfumes, roll on, which surpresses the foul smell.

Call on Mr lalasticlala so that you can get more suggestions and perhaps expert advises when it get to front page.

Hmmm... All you need do is maintain a healthy lifestyle and good hygiene... Have your bath regularly and on time too... As for the body spray giving you boils, i will like to know the type of body sprays you used that caused the boils cos I wear body sprays and roll Ons steady and i don't experience that...

Try and see a Dermatologist, cos I don't know much about body odour but this guy's story below really shocked me.
Dreadlock69:
I created this topic in this section to get a wider audience please contribute if you have /had the experience
Early my teenage years, I do have a female neighbor very close we play and do all things together both bad and good you know what I mean,most times she will sleep and her eyes will be open lying at her back ,I do mock her about this and laugh about it .she always say she can't control it that I won't understand that she see everything happening around her but can't move ,I'll be like how is it possible I don't believe you but she will say dreadlock69 you won't understand.though she really stressed herself sleeping late but she is very bright with her books my parents used her to mock me.
However mine started when I was ss2 I could remember vividly well it happened one night I was sleeping all of a sudden something griped me I can't move I can't breath it was like something or someone inside the room was taking my life force out of me ,I'm very much aware of my environment but when it's stopped I be gasping for air and my heart will be racing ,this repeatedly happens every night at times worst and horrifying ,one night it happened again I was terrified and told my parents they told me nothing gonna happen that I should pray over it.
"Omo nah just the beginning I dey see ooo"
Later when I finish my secondary school I still experiencing it but ,this time round I can breath well but still see images .then I got my new phone I surfed the internet then I came across an article talking about this which seems to relate to what I experience then I made more and more research and findings which were scarying and calming.i remember one time I'd told my brother not to touch my phone strictly warning him then I slept off and the sleep paralysis started I woke up but can't do anything can't move ,can't talk just lifeless but I can see and I'm aware of what is going on in my environment and behold my brother was using my phone I was in anger but I can't do anything I just lay there lifeless with anger in me till it fades off thank his stars he went out before I regain consciousness
Another experience was when I watching a horror movie it happened the again when I was having a nap I was so scared I just have to close my eyes not to see images.
Later on I had full control over it and sometimes I transit from that state to lucid dreaming. Then I had a good work with all good amenities not stressful you can take a nap anytime you like , funny enough my partner experience it also I noticed the day he was sleeping but his eyes where open trying hard to move his body ,I just left him till it's fade off
So one day I was having a nap in the bedroom my boss was calling me I could hear him but I can't move anything just laying lifeless I was praying he should not catch me in this state .
Sometimes I'll have to call my partner but he is still in that state but I have to wake up,which he do wake up looking frightened.

I just learned how to lived with it cause I can't do anything bout it and feel for people who experience this but don't know how to manage it
Probably transit from that state to lucid dreaming
Maybe someday I'll have to tell my spouse or someone to close to me to not get frightened if they see me like that maybe a girlfriend, a wife ,my child I can't say for now
What your opinion on this
Confirmed Initiation! You were having sex with that the demon possessed and think the mixing of your both blood would not grant the demon legal Access into your Life? Demons love to have many humans enslaved under them, same demon has brought your roommate under his influence through you. One thing we should all Take Note here is the fact that everyone that testify as "Sleep Paralysis" Victim always say they still vividly remember the first time it happened. All over the Internet, they say they see or fearfully feel humanoid or dark Force grabbing or Pressing them downward. It's a decending into demonic dimension or lower spiritual plane where by the demon used your Soul's Energy till it has finished whatever he wants to do and release you. Someone passing through this can never fully fulfill the Original Glorious Purpose for which he or she was created. Locate the closest MFM Church their 3 Days Deliverance program during which you yourself have to verbaly fervently Pray by decreeing that the Blood of JESUS Son of YAHWEH should forgive you and permanently destroy the Authority you gave the demon and restore your Life's Legal ground that you lost to the demon through the Sex with the girl that was his property. Chase the demon out of your Life and ask HOLY SPIRIT to permanently take Control your Life and thoughts so that he shall never have space to return into

I hardly breathe whenever this lady comes close or when we stay in the same room. I wonder why her man doesn't perceive anything,,,, maybe he's used to the odour though,,,,, sometimes only the visitors feel the bad smell in our rooms.

Nothing spoilt though,,, we still roll wink

@OP,,,, may God proffer you a lasting solution.

The truth is that you will get many answers here within the next few hours. But then, our body system differs. What worked for me might not work for you.

Your best bet is to visit a dermatologist, make sure you outline everything to him/her as you have done now. Let your treatment start from there.

NB: I said dermatologist and not a roadside nurse.

Here are some ways you can get rid of your body odor.

1.Keep Yourself Squeaky Clean

Shower at least once a day, and you'll wash away sweat and get rid of some of the bacteria on your skin.

Sweat by itself is basically odorless. But when the bacteria that live on your skin mix with sweat, they multiply quickly and raise quite a stink.

Washing thoroughly, especially the areas where you tend to sweat, can help with body odor.

2. Use Antibacterial Soap

Washing thoroughly with an antibacterial soap bar will help get rid of some bacteria, which can help with the odor.

Look for the word "antibacterial" on the soap's packaging.

3. Dry your body with a Towel very Well

Once you've showered, dry yourself completely, paying close attention to any areas where you sweat a lot.

If your skin is dry, it's harder for bacteria that cause body odor to breed on it.


4. Use 'Industrial Strength' Antiperspirants


Once you’re clean and dry, use a strong antiperspirant on your underarms. These have aluminum chloride, a chemical that helps keep sweat at bay, and they often also have a deodorant in them. Use it twice a day -- once in the morning and once in the evening.

You don’t need a prescription to get a powerful antiperspirant. Look for ones that say they’re higher strength.

If you think you need more help, ask your doctor about prescription antiperspirants.  

5. Keep Your Clothes Clean

Change clothes often when you're sweating heavily. Fresh clothes help keep body odor down.

6. Cut Out or Cut Back On Certain Foods or Drinks

What you eat affects your body odor. Foods that tend to make you sweat more, such as hot peppers or other spicy foods, might also lead to body odor. And the aroma of foods like onions or garlic can be carried in your sweat. Drinks with caffeine or alcohol may also make you sweat more.


All of us @[b][/b] wish you all the very best on this journey to a new you.
