sweating and b.o.

[That_Guy49]

man, I sweat easily, how can I cope with it?

Also, it seems that no matter how good I wash myself and put on deodorant, I still smell myself to be kinda foul at the end of the day, is that normal and if I can smell myself, can others?

BO is caused by bacteria that thrive on the fats and oils relseased in sweat. Deoderant works by altering the pH of your sweat so that bacteria don't proliferate as much.

Deoderant also has added scents.

If you sweat alot, then there are limits to what over the counter deoderants can do. There are some precscription deoderants u can get which are stronger.

Also, i have heard that trimming the hair in your armpits can help a little, i dunno if thats tru tho.

Or you can try putting on deoderant more often during the day. Talk to your doctor.

You might have HyperHidrosis...



I personally have a mild form of it.

I suggest:
Certain Dri at nights
Anti-Bacterial Soaps (not Deodorant Soaps... Dial makes an Anti-Bacterial Soap)
-> Anti-Bacterial Soaps will kill the smell
Showering twice a day
Trimming Armpit hair


If it's worse than that, just go to the link above and read about it.

fwiw, boric acid will also kill b.o. bacteria. It is non-rx, cheap, and can be bought at the drugstore.

Some websites say what you eat can affect B.O., I would look into that also.
