How To Get Rid Of Smelly Underarms?

I am wondering why is it when I get out of the shower, my underarms start stinking within minutes. They also smell like vinegar sometimes as well as my feet ( I have even been able to smell this vinegar smell myself sometimes) But they don t have that particular odor all of the time. I can even squeeze out pimple like substance from my underarms. How do I fix this? I feel like I stink all of the time.

Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

This is called as bromhidrosis.
Bath twice daily with antibacterial soap (only for body)
Wear cotton clothing. Drink lemon juice daily morning.
There are few procedures for bromhidrosis such as botox, frequency doubled q switched NdYAG laser- consult a dermatologist in person for these procedures and further management.

Regards
