I have terrible sour BO...advice?

I need help. I recently have had God awful BO!!! It smells sour. Idk what’s going on. It’s never been this bad or smelled this way. I have tried different deodorants. I’ve applied deodorant multiple times a day. I don’t know what to do. But it stresses me out. I don’t like being stinking.

It could be a hormonal issue going on in your body

Try washing with hibiclens couple of times a day. Make sure you rinse off good hibiclens is a bacterial micro germ remover. Bacteria and germs are the reason for bad smell.

Sounds like either a hormone imbalance or possibly a undetected infection possibly yeast based.

Lume deodorant! I can’t use anything else. Otherwise by noon I need to clean/dry and reapply.

Lots of water. Drink lots of water and go for some yogurt.

Try dial antibacterial soap

I had bad body odor too, so far this is the only thing that helps me.

Antibacterial soap under your arms. BO is caused by bacteria.

Take a visit to your Dr to rule out medical reasons.

Lime/ lemon with baking soda rub let dry for 10 mins then bathe.
Detox, plenty water.

Antibacterial soap. Cotton clothing. Baking soda over antiperspirant.

Drs. Can prescribe a deodorant. My daughter used to get it. Also, I believe there is a pill too.

The smell comes from bacteria breeding on sweat glands pop over to ULTA and get the brand The Ordinary and buy Glycolic Acid put it on a cotton roll and roll it over your sweat glands ie armpits groin let it dry all the way takes a few seconds and put deodorant on top

Could you be pregnant? I swear the smell of bo changed to smelling like that and I was pregnant. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Have your cortisol levels checked

Water, water, water. It could be something different you are eating, house water,etc.

Is it possibly something you are eating or drinking? Please see a doctor it could be a serious medical problem.

It’s probably yeast. I get it under my boobs

Old Spice mens deodorant. That’s the only thing that works for me.

I kid you not… don’t knock it till you try it but get Philips milk of magnesium and put a dab of it under your arms after a shower and you won’t smell a thing. After it dries use deodorant. I personally use dove clinical protection. The milk of magnesium is sticky but I’m telling you it works.

If it’s a new issue, you should go to your doctor and get it checked out. Sudden changes like that can be an indicator of something going on with your body. It could be as simple as hormone changes, in which case they’ll probably have a solution…or it could be something more serious, in which case you’ll be glad you went.

If this is something brand new then it’s your body trying to tell you something is wrong. Please seek medical advice because this could be a number of different significant issues going on. In the meantime, Lume is actually really good stuff that may help. Degree 48 hour is really good too if you need something a bit cheaper. Good luck.

Drink alot.of water and drink some fenugreek tea it will make ur sweat smell like a vanilla maple syrup

It could be a change in your diet, new medication, hormones or stress/anxiety levels. When mine is extra sour it’s usually due to my anxiety, I call it my anxiety sweats lol.
With women as we get older our hormones change a few different times.
Just keep them washed, shaved and apply antiperspirant as needed.

Stress sweat, or whatever your eating

“If you stink, you need Zinc.” Has helped myself, my kids, and family members… literally take it for a week and see what happens.

Use mens. I will never use women’s again. It isn’t strong enough for me. I use old spice Fiji or bear glove. Then I spray women’s spray dove deodorant on top. I smell fresh all day and all night and I work in a factory where it gets up to over 100°

Try the crystal deo stick used in a shower then a deo.

I only had stinky sweat when I was prego….hormones are a bitch!! Sweat can be stink for other reasons as well like stress high levels of cortisol will make sweat stinky

Foods, medicine and hormones can cause change in BO.

It’s stress sweat! Use an antiperspirant combo. Also try an antibacterial soap like dial

I hear chlorophyll works wonders

I use lume deodorant. It is only a deodorant and not an antiperspirant so I use it with my regular secret deodorant and antiperspirant. I use the unscented lume with the scented secret.

Use 90% rubbing alcohol to clean pits… daily

Than use this I smelled like an old man until I cleaned pits with alcohol and use this. No more stink :grin:

Add deodorant and baby powder you body. If you just had a baby then it is temporary. Also ask a Dr could be a hormone thing

I would suggest talking to your Dr about it. Could be something going on. My husband had this happen. Turns out he was diabetic

Stop deodorant all together! Use alcohol.

The smell is actually the bacteria under Ur arms farting! TRUE STORY!!!

I’m in the same boat…hormone change is what it is so you might want to get that checked out. I’ve started using old spice for men and it’s manageable
