Suggest Remedy For Bad Armpit Odor In A Teenager While On Periods
My grand daughter has just started her periods. Her armpit odor is enough to drop a horse. I have never smelt any quite like it. Even after a shower and deodorant it returns with in a couple hours. One of her friends commented on it. I feel so bad for her. She spends a lot of time by herself. What can I do to help her?

hello
bacteria that grow on sweat are the main cause for odour.
I suggest her to use an antiseptic soap. and also use aluminium hexahydrate solution every night. this will reduce her sweat.
thanks
