How to stop body odor #dermatologist

[delia_watercolors]

I use Lume. Great for disabled people. A peasized amount applied every 3 days is AMAZING. My only complaints are that Lume keeps changing their scents (but calling them the same name) and making their bottles smaller.

using benzoyl peroxide 5% face wash in my armpits once a week combined with using antiperspirants at the start of the day and before bed, and trimming my armpit hair leaves me smelling like...nothing :D

Fenugreek capsules also help you smell good.

Thanks dr dray ❣️ since I’ve been using the Korean Italian type scrubbing towels with benzoyl and antiperspirant spray, I feel so clean and stink free ❣️ sadly most stores don’t carry antiperspirant alone so it’s getting hard to find

I picked up your benzoyl peroxide wash tip a few years ago and absolutely swear by it. Ive always had body odor issues and regular antiperspirants were not cutting it. Combining the 2 is the only thing that worked.

When I first switched to natural deodorant, I had an adverse reaction. My pits were detoxing and it was not the deodorant. I have no problem now about 8 years later. I don't stink. I also wash pits with benzoyl peroxide if I have an especially sweaty day. But I don't mind sweat. It is natural and it doesn't stink if you are generally healthy and have no issues.

Consuming fenugreek got my armpits smelling like marple syrup 😭

Hmmm in Australia - Deodorants are labeled as “Antiperspirant Deodorants”. I’m so confused 🫤

[kiyakia]

Nuud is the BEST natural deodorant. It is fragrance free, comes in a tube, and is the only “natural” product that ever worked. Standard aluminum antiperspirant has never actually worked for me either. Believe me I’ve tried everything including the prescription strength stuff.

I haven’t had any BO in 5 years since I’ve been using it. I still sweat but it effectively prevents the bacterial growth that cause odor. I don’t sweat as much either, because I’m not worried about being stinky! (At least that’s what I believe is the cause, could also be the product)

I dont wear deodorant at all. I use a salicylic acid body wash and then apply the CeraVe salicylic acid lotion on the places i sweat most. i still sweat, but it doesnt smell.

The ONLY thing that works for me is Rexona clinical protection, I think imma get botox under the arms lol

I have tried natural deodorants and those gave me terrible rashes because of that baking soda. Commertial antiperspirant is the best, I like the liquid ones.

[amixeblu]

Anti-perspirant ever since I was a teen. Short stints with deodorants never amounted to much, in my case. I just can't do it.

[ladorned_cave]

antiperspirant stains my white shirts yellow so i don’t use it. i use hypochloruous acid on my underarms immediately after showering and washing them, then apply my deodorant. the hypochlouous acid kills the microbes that cause body odor. it works well for me. if i worked out at a gym i’d take the hypochlorous acid spray with me just so the bacteria don’t get a head start after my sweating

[ImpetuousPorkus]

I also only use antiperspirant. I’ve never had an issue with underarm odor thanks to having the ABCC11 gene.

[CourtneyTunbridge]

Antiperspirant.
It blows my mind that so many people are unaware of the difference.

[micky]

Do you have an alternative to benzoyl peroxide? I am very allergic to it, the whole redness and swelling and itching and then going 'Hm, maybe it's a coincidence I'm having issues in the spot I patch tested this' and trying it again which lead to slight blistering. I've been using salcylic face wash under my under arms lately but I don't know if it has the same effect.

I use antiperspirant too. Everytime I tried to use a deo I had excema, burning sensation and smelled aweful. I have a very active job and lifestyle and need an antiperspirant.🤭

[joeythebushkangaroo]

I use anti bacterial soap, use in shower also lather up after shower, then leave on underarms to dry. Avoid anything with aluminium- most underarm deodorants & antiperspirants use it. "Sapoderm" soap is what I use, I'm also allergic to many fragrances, but this one is fine for me...

Chlorophyll caps/liquid has been so helpful for me as far as smells. Even when exercising outside in the heat of Texas I didn’t need to use any deodorant. I don’t like using antiperspirant because I feel like the body needs to sweat 😅. That’s just my take though. Otherwise I do like more natural deodorants.
