My armpits are a human hazard

I once read that the odour of your sweat reflects what you eat. Do you have a spicey diet with a lot of onions?
Are you on HRT?

It'll probably be the sweat glands that are causing the problem.

As this is a recent thing granny4hugs I would check it out with your doctor. It may well be an infection as aggie says. Washing the area too much may be counter productive as well.

I'm not sure men are good judges in this area!!!

Granny and Minnie.....what lovely husbands. Don't change anything - they love you just the way you are.

Try a mineral stick - no chemicals and I've asked my husband to tell me if it doesn't work well enough! He said I'm fine.

And just as an aside my eyesight isn't what it was ... even when wearing glasses ... I thought your moniker was grannyforthugs. Which I thought was very noble!

Daily shower, deodorant and cool clothes. A fungal infection would cause a red rash with a distinct edge.

Ah, granny4hugs, your partner sounds just like mine. I know I resemble a zombie from The Walking Dead most of the time, but according to him I am a rare beauty o-0 As for your smelly armpits, I am at a loss as to what to suggest. So if you've managed thus far without deodorant, would it hurt to try one out now? Just to see if things improve? Also have you asked your GP about it? You never know, it could be something they can help with. I hope that someone can give you some better advice

fungal infection , go to the doctor
