There are several things to do that might help:

* Frequent bathing * Frequent changes of clothing * Avoid foods that cause body odors * Use deodorant, but to prevent sweating use the kind that says, Antiperspirant. * Keep your clothes loose fitted around the armpit as circulation of air keeps the armpit from having an odor * Dress in natural fibers

If the problem is really bad, a doctor may be of some assistance. There are products made specifically for this problem, some of which can be found in many drug, discount and health food stores. One, in particular, is a salt/mineral salt product. Salt has some natural anti-bacterial properties, so this may help eliminate the problem, since quite often, it is bacteria that causes the odor. This can also help with sweaty and/or smelly feet.

It all starts by sweat. Sweating is natural and healthy. It's your body's way of cooling down. But, you may be sweating more than ever before and in different places, such as under your arms. And when the sweat mixes with bacteria on you skin and meets the air, it can smell! Luckily, keeping body odor in check isn't hard. You can start by giving your armpits a good sudsing every time you shower or bathe. Once you washed your armpits, you may want to use an underarm product that helps keep the sweat, odor, or both away. Deodorants work to prevent underarm odor. Antiperspirants actually work to reduce sweating. Hope i helped:] I bet you I did!

Body odor is primarily caused by growing bacteria underneath the arm. This bacteria sometimes produces a foul odor.
