Tbh I shower twice every day, and for some reason my armpits when they sweat always smell like absolute dog shit and I hate it, is it because I’m not completely clean, I really don’t understand why this happens

so 2 nights ago i had “dare” coffee mocha. i noticed lately i get really bad stomach pains a few hours after i drink this but i wasnt 100% if it was the drink or something else. i was in hospital a couple of nights ago with “stomach migraines” something i have been getting since i was 5

so i got one more mocha coffee to test if it made me sick, that same night i woke up about 3am sick. sweating like crazy. my pants/shirt/bed cover all smelt liked a staled foul smell of mocha coffee. i know i didnt piss the bed because that part of pants were mostly dry. it was mainly the bottom of my pants & sides.
