People need to understand that having body odor doesn't mean your dirty or you don't wash clean, but it can also mean if your stressed, having anxiety or depression sometimes hormones. Don't make fun of people who stink just because you think you aren't.

I wanted to comment about this video. My adult son has had body odor for many years and we have tried everything over the counter and oral medication, nothing worked until now. I had a bottle of hibcleanse and had my son try it. Your video has changed his life and the people around him. I cannot thank you enough. Keep up with the great content.

After I got lazer hair treatment, I stopped stinking; it was such a wonderful perk. I don't wear deodorant anymore! I'm looking forward to the oversweating segment. I know some people got it way worse than me, but it can be embarrassing.

Thanks for this video. My partner suffers from excessive sweat and I'll have him try some of your hacks. 😊 Please bring back the podcast! I miss it so much

I can vouch for Secret 🙋🏻‍♀️
15 years ago I was hospitalized for 5 days with a kidney infection. The first 3 days I was miserable with a fever and didn’t shower because I had no strength. I remember making a comment to my sister about how my deodorant (Secret) was still holding up 😄

Thank for your hard work. I tried to make a video once and was humbled immediately. Doctors should be especially commended as this is not their primary source of income, but do this to educate people.

I’m half Asian and have never had body odor (ABC11 mutation also gives me dry earwax). But I knew a guy who immediately emitted a terrible body odor even when he just stepped out of the shower. No deodorant in the world was enough to stop this smell. He was the cleanest person I knew! And it wasn’t just coming from his armpits, it was his whole body. I always wondered if some endocrine disorder might have caused this? Looking forward to your video on excessive sweating - I dated someone who had that issue.

Thank you for going through all the trouble you did to make this video. My 13 year old son is more on the stinky side of life these days and deodorant and showering is a constant struggle for him. I really benefited from all of this information and clicked on it as soon as I saw the topic!

Something that wasn't addressed in this segment but may be in a future episode is nonenal body odor. (hormonal imbalance or aging body odor) Mirai Clinical uses persimmon tannin and it works well. Their body wash has no fragrance and is quite effective as a nonenal preventive. I like Vanicream's antiperspirant stick. 48 hours, no odor! Hibiclens was mentioned and to get a thoroughly cleansed skin surface, I use it on a Buf-Puf (gentle) to clean my armpits. Results: Smooth as silk. Ready for a fresh application of Vanicream antiperspirant. I think Hibiclens adds to the effectiveness of knocking down those stank inducing bacteria. Just my 2 cents. Great video, doctors! Thank you!

Can you do a video specifically for preventing odor from stress/anxiety sweat?

So, from my experience, if applied correctly, Secret can actually power through 72h. If the weather isn't too humid or too hot, it'll hold, otherwise it'll just slide off. The problem i have with it, is that it does cause some irritation and armpits skin looks darker. Because of that I prefer Mitchum, it'll hold for solid 24h. Just apply overnight on dry clean skin. No need to reapply in the morning.

OTC: Dial soap in the pits followed by Certain Dry Antiperspirant. Follow the instructions carefully.

I'm a 31 yearold woman. About 5 years ago, my BO became way stronger. My pits only smelled up close to my skin, and now I can clear a room if I lift my arms after a stressful moment. It definitely gets worse when I when I take fish oil or drink alcohol.

I have suffered from excessive sweating and odor since puberty (I also have super waxy ears). I eat clean, work out, shower regularly and nothing seems to work. I’ve tried everything: benzoyl peroxide, hibiclens, glycolic acid, prescription strength deodorants, all of it. I tried Lume and it changed my scent for the worse. It’s been a lifelong struggle and seems to get worse as I get older. Sucks big time.

[hyperobelisk]

Bought the necessaire eucalyptus last night and tried on today… unfortunately I still noticed a faint odor but it was encapsulated in my armpit area only, however it’s a bit early too tell without further testing, and in case it doesn’t work for sure then I’ll try the panoxyl cream wash. As always thanks for your tips and tricks

Edit: Just tried the Lume deodorant and it does work somehow.. for now I’m pleased

[Sillyalways]

That Axe anecdote was hysterical 😂 how many teenager boys have been duped like that 😂😂😂

[juliabinford]

Hypochlorous spray to feet and armpits after PE for teens is also helpful, since they can’t shower.

We dont want to be perfect. We just want to be socially acceptable for us to get work or make a living.

A small slice of lemon treats underarm odor for two days in the heat.I used body ointment for 12 years until I got a lump under my wings. Then I found the best remedy: lemon. But when you use mousse to remove hair, it hurts a little, but rest assured that the chemicals work much better

[ashleyedwards]

I am beyond thrilled that this video exists! I'm a 40 year old woman who has been wearing deodorant and antiperspirants for 35 years. That's right, since I was five! I've been wearing clinical strength antiperspirant/deodorant for around 20 years now. I shower daily and have tried so many deodorants over the years to no avail. I decided to check Youtube to see if there was something I could do about the stench at the source and came across this video. Ran to the store first thing the next morning when it opened and purchased a bottle of HibiCleans, tried it out as soon as I finished my workout ( I was quite smelly). I could not believe how clean I felt afterward. I've been using it daily for two or three days now and I don't smell anything at all! I keep smelling my pits just to make sure. I don't know why I never thought to wash with antiseptic, antimicrobial, antibacterial cleansers before since I know underarm odor is caused by bacteria feeding on sweat.
