What Causes Bad Under Arm Odour In A Child?

My 7-year-old son has under arm odor. This can occur on days when he is not particularly physically active. When he is more active and in higher temperatures, it s worse. But it even seems to occur at rest . Is this something to be medically concerned about? Thanks and best regards.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such odor could be due perspiration and this is very common phenomenon and not due to any disease no need to worry about this, it is not the medical condition at all, have a nice day. (This could be minimize with nice fragrance of talcum powder )
