How To Deal With Armpit Odour

Who does not wish to smell good? However, the fact is that around 70% of women and 90% of men suffer with the problem of armpit odour. Given the fact, let’s face the reality and try to know whether we can avoid this problem. If it is avoidable then, how we can get rid of this problem?

What causes the odour?

Most of us believe that the sweat coming out from the armpit causes the odour. However, sweat and armpit are odourless. The secretion of apocrine along with the sweat plays a significant role in causing the problem. Again, let me tell you that the apocrine sweat is also odourless, when it’s freshly secreted. The embarrassing smell is developed, when the apocrine gets accumulated in armpit and broken down by the skin cells or hair (if underarm hair exists). The typical smell comes out, when the sweat is eaten by bacteria after being broken down.

How to get rid of the odour?
When it is about getting rid of armpit odour, we are usually told to follow endless number of methods. Here, I would talk about few tips, which are easy, affordable and safe to keep your armpit fresh and smell good.

-Firstly, I would like to suggest you to wash your armpit as many times as you can do and keep it in a hygienic condition. There is no need to kill those bacteria, rather it is enough to wash them off and smell good. You should also Scrub your underarms regularly (but gently) while taking the shower.

-Secondly, I will suggest you to go for deodorants, only if you can keep the armpit clean by washing it frequently, especially after doing exercise or after an outdoor tour. Unless, your armpit is clean, the deodorant will not be able to disguise the odour, rather it will aggravate the condition.

-Thirdly, you can go for anti-perspiring stick. It could be a good option than the deodorant. However, you should buy the stick on which you can rely upon because many don’t live up to what they promise.

-Fourthly, don’t let your underarm hair grow too much to accumulate the sweat. I have seen many having underarm hair and smelling good at the same time. This could be possible only when you know how to keep your armpit clean in a hygienic manner.
