You need to use an anti-prespirant. Anti-prespirants help stop the sweating and not just try to cover the odor.

Be sure and wash good with soap and water, dry good and use the anti-prespirant. Use morning and night.

If you have hair under your arms, shave. Hair is a trap for bacteria.

Wearing loose cotton tops will help air to circulate and stay dry better.

You can try Certain Dri, but that is more for excessive perspiration. But you can try using antibactrial ointment like Neosporin or an antifungal cream and then let put on antiperspirant. I have also heard of people washing their armpits with apple cidar vinegar before using anti-perspirant. Hope this helps.

Try Secret Platinum Protection. It is very strong & has deodarant and anti-perspirant. I used to have this problem too until I started using Secret. Don't buy regular-get the Platinum Protection. I even tried men's deodarant/antiperspirant but didn't like the masculine odor. Also-be sure and shave and wash good too. Good luck!
