What would make an otherwise normal woman start to sweat a lot under her arms?

Answer 1

Underarm odor in women, and men, is mainly caused by the bacteria that live and multiply in the sweat that tends to get trapped in underarm and genital regions. These bacteria often emit sulphur-containing gases as part of their respiration process. Another lesser cause of body odor can sometimes be certain foods that you eat, garlic is a common culprit, but these odors are not limited to pubic regions, they come from all over your body, but are usually stronger in pubic regions because of the combination of hair and sweat there. Then there is your own natural scent which you may or may not find appealing, which also is a bodywide odor, and will be stronger in your sweaty and hairy regions.

Answer 2

Anxiety can be one of the popular causes of underarm pain. Also activities such as weight lifting can also help cause the condition. Other causes could be Diabetes, peripheral artery disease, peripheral neuropathy, chemical burn and heart burn. Added to this, patients can suffer from peripheral nerve trauma, peripheral nerve compression, brachial plexus injury and cold.

Hope this helps.
