What Are The Reasons For Smelly Right Axilla?

Hi, I am a55 y.o. female who weighs about 180 lb.s I am 5 5 . I started noticing that only my right axilla has been quite smelly lately ! Soured even. At first I thought maybe I had forgotten my deoderant...but I am certain now that that is not the problem! What might be the cause of this? Only one side. My right side .

hello madam,
there could be some growth at that site with some lump or so...
its not that a serious problem,
be extra cautious to wash that area with an antiseptic soap.
you can also visit a dermatologist if problem persists
