There could be many possible causes for armpit odor. These could range from sweating do to exercise to a problem with a person's dietary intake.
Usually because the area can stay moist from perspiration and is warm with just the right environment for bacteria to grow. Usually body odors are due to odors from bacteria or yeasts that produce the smells. This area produces and holds in perspiration so it can not dry quickly and germs grow. The perspiratory process also is part of the excretory waste system in the human body, so some toxins or chemicals or oils from foods eaten, etc. can be released to the outside of your body in the perspiration, which can cause odors, as well.
In addition, what smells bad to you may not smell bad to others, for your own physiological reasons and sense of smell but also because it is a known sociological difference between cultures. In some cultures, the body odor of perspiration is even considered a "turn on". A person's diet also can affect their body odor. Cultures with different foods eaten most of the time than you eat can have strong associated body odors that are what is, to them, normal. Garlic, for example, when eaten regularly and in large amounts, as in some international diets, can produce very strong odors not just emanating from the mouth and from the breath, but also from the pores in the skin. This is so normal in that culture and diet that the odor is not even noticed by them, it is just what they think all people smell like. They sometimes think in foreign countries that Americans, with all the preparations, scented hygiene products and cologne, etc. that we wear, are much more offensive smelling and stinky than the people in their culture who do not use these types of products.
Armpit odour, or axillary malodor, usually begins when you reach puberty, when your glands start working. There are two kinds of sweat glands in the human body, the apocrine glands, which secrete a milky fluid from the hair follicles, and the eccrine glands, which are the source of most perspiration. The sweat from the eccrine glands is water, which is used to cool the body by evaporation and to moisten the friction surfaces of the body.
Most axillary, or armpit, sweat is odourless, and comes from the eccrine glands. The small amount of apocrine secretion in the sweat, however, causes the problem.
Although fresh apocrine sweat is also odourless, it develops its characteristic smell when the sweat is broken down by the hair and skin cells in the armpit, and then eaten by bacteria.
It's actually the bacteria that make the smell, releasing a chemical called 3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid.
Antiperspirants act like a second skin under your armpit, preventing perspiration from being released. Without the sweat, the bacteria can't grow. Some people don't like the crusty feel that these leave on the skin.
Modern mans sense of smell has changed over time. Our natural body odors are there to help us attract members of the opposite sex (pheromones). Most people, especially westerners do not like the smell of sweat, but many (male and female) would admit that hot, sweaty lovemaking is 'extra' exciting and they are not sure why.
For whatever reason more bacteria are growing in the worse-smelling armpit.
because it probaly has more sweat glands
Bacteria that naturally live on your skin produce the odor. Sweat glands in the pubic and armpit areas naturally secrete more fatty substance then on the rest of your skin. The bacteria feed on these and produce the odor.
Sweat is what causes body odor. Sweat has the same chemical makeup as your urine at that time. So it depends on what you have ingested. Body odor is actually the drying/fermentation of your sweat. Which is why it can smell so strong. It's been concentrated.

Armpit odor is caused by perspiration. The best method for eliminating armpit odor is to use proper hygiene. Bathing or showering daily and after strenuous activities will wash away the odor. Using anti-perspirant will aide in the prevention of the odor causing sweat. There are also medical interventions for people with severe armpit perspiration problems.
Take your baby to a doctor to make sure the odor is not the sign of a disease.

Body Odor
it is because , to attract the insect
Body odor from the armpits is formed from the bacteria living in the moist, mostly dark area under the arm. It is not at all unusual to have a disparity in the amount or character of the odor from left side to right. In early puberty, it happens sometimes that one armpit is stinkier than the other. As the child grows older, some of the bacteria are transferred from one arm to the other through wash cloths or use of deodorant.
Armpit got his nickname from his classmates due to his excessive sweating and body odor. It is a teasing reference to his personal hygiene habits and is used as a way to make fun of him.
