Has anything worked for anybody who's had the problem of smelly pits for over two years?
No matter what I try nothing helps and my time to fix this is running out.
The smell doesn't even wash away in the shower.
Please reply! Anybody, somebody! Please.

Medications, hormone in balance, and bacteria or Candidus can be a hormone in balance, and bacteria are Candida can be a cause. Doing a detox and armpit detox will surely help! Bentonite Clay, baking soda paste, or mud paste will help. You may have to do a all over scrub before doing the armpit detox. Make sure your drinking plenty of water. Futi is good to build the flora back in the gut for digestion. Remember, it didn't happen over night, it may take some TLC W DYI To get it under control. Always consult the doctor on what may be going on!

Hi I found this information in the Huffington Post article on line. I remembered reading about a woman who noticed an onion smell from her armpits and discovered it was because she had increased the amount of red meat in her diet. How much meat do you eat??
The article below explains about foods that can affect your odour, hope it helps.
“Genetics determine more than your eye or hair color. Your genes also drive your “odor signature,” the smell you naturally emit from oil and sweat glands when you’re at rest, physically active or exercising.
The fermentation of your perspiration by naturally occurring bacteria on your skin produces the distinctive scent we less generously call body odor, says Dr. Debra Jaliman, a dermatologist, spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology and author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets From a Top Dermatologist. We each have a distinct combination of bacteria — about 1,000 types live in human sweat glands — and therefore, our own unique smell. Age is believed to alter body odor. Researchers have not pinned down the mechanism, but one theory is as we get older, the activity of our bacteria changes, affecting our natural odor.
But along with DNA and age, Jaliman says, what we eat can have a major impact on our scent, at least temporarily. While most of us understand that consuming garlic or onions will affect our breath, we might not realize that such foods as broccoli and red meat can significantly raise the volume on body odor.
Here are five types of foods or diet regimens known to alter your natural aroma.
Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower The issue with these cruciferous vegetables is their sulfur, which your body breaks down into compounds that are actually similar to those responsible for the smell of rancid butter. “These compounds are absorbed into the body and secreted in sweat,” explains E. Adam Kallel, a medicinal chemistry consultant at Victrix Computational and Medicinal Chemistry Consultancy in Carlsbad, Calif. Your body odor can change for the worse as early as one hour after consuming these vegetables, he says. The scent associated with one serving should dissipate within six hours.
Despite the olfactory risk, Jaliman says, “Cruciferous vegetables are very healthy and you shouldn’t avoid them based on a little body odor.” To minimize the effect, parboil these vegetables in water seasoned with a pinch of sea salt. This process can remove much of the odor-producing chemicals while retaining the foods’ beneficial compounds. Red meat The amino acids in red meat leave a residue in your intestines during digestion. Intestinal enzymes break down that residue, which then mixes with bacteria on your skin during perspiration and intensifies your odor. It’s an effect that’s hard to avoid: Since meat is harder to digest than other foods, Kallel says, your body has to work harder to process it. “As a result,” he says, “your sweat glands may respond by secreting more perspiration.”
Being aware of the timing of your amplified aroma is the best way to try to manage it. “The bacteria need a couple of hours to ramp up to their most odiferous point,” Kallel says. “You can smell worse within two hours of eating red meat.” Depending on your personal body chemistry, the change in the scent of your sweat brought on by meat consumption can be minimal or can linger for a few hours up to as long as two weeks.
Fish There’s no question about the health benefits of consuming fish. Years of research have shown that omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in fish oil, are essential for brain function and play a key role in reducing one’s risk of heart disease. Two fish-based meals a week has become a commonly accepted guideline. But choline, a member of the B-complex vitamin family that is found amply in fish like tuna and salmon, delivers a natural fishy smell.
Some people, Kallel says, may secrete choline in their sweat for up to a day after eating a serving of fish, potentially producing a strong body odor. In a small number of people, consumption of foods containing choline and carnitine, including fish, meat and eggs, can contribute to trimethylaminuria, or “fishy odor syndrome,” which can be treated by dietary change and antibiotics.
Processed (junk) foods The mechanism for this food-odor connection has not been pinned down by researchers, Jaliman says, but the refined sugar content of junk foods, as well as their high glycemic index (a measure of how different carbohydrates raise blood sugar levels), are likely to blame. It’s thought that the sugar present in the blood after eating junk food alters the make-up of perspiration in some people when it combines with bacteria on the skin, leading to changes in odor. Processed foods also lack chlorophyll, the chemical that gives vegetables their color and acts as a deodorizer and cleanser in the body, neutralizing the bacteria that causes BO.
“After a week of abstaining from such food, the odor should go away,” Jaliman says — a problem if you’re a daily processed snack consumer (which, of course, you shouldn’t be).
Low-carb diets High-carb processed foods can turn up your odor, but low-carb diets are also a problem for some. When you cut back on carbohydrates, your body has fewer carbs to burn for energy and starts burning fat instead. This is why low-carb diets can deliver weight loss — and body odor. “When you burn fat,” Jaliman says, “your body produces a chemical that can make perspiration smell either like nail polish remover or fruity.” This is not a problem for everyone, and affects some people in different ways. “The exact alteration to the natural body odor depends on a person’s body chemistry,” she says.
It can take several days after starting a low-carb regimen to notice a difference in your scent, but Jaliman says that if and when the change takes effect, it will likely linger as long as you remain on the diet. If the effect is pronounced, she suggests, speak to your doctor about adjusting your diet.

The metallic smell after using an anti-persperant is bc it contains aluminum. I have tried to change the pH of my underarm by spraying apple cider vinegar, then spraying some highly anti-bacterial essential oils. After that i use corn starch to help with sweating. Having said all that, the more stress I'm under? I've noticed that affects the smell. Good luck to you. I've detoxed, but it is never enough. This solution has worked the best, but i have to re-apply. I use those little brown bottles you get for essential oils, then add the spray top. I use a make up brush (that i only use for this) to apply the cornstarch. Hope this helps. I quit antiperspirant many years ago bc i didn't want to put metal in my body. Bacteria clings/binds to metal. But it also gets stuck in your body, and causes problems.

Surgical spirit on some cotton wool after you've washed and thouroghly dried your armpit and evenly apply to armpit, stops excessive sweating and odour, may sting for a minute but then it's gone

I recommend for those with that issue to try a bottle of alcohol mixed with a bottle of sodium bicarbonate ....problem eliminated. Use it like regular deodorant

Hi - Found this site just now looking up the "onion armpit" smell. For me it seems to happen when I'm overly stressed. I NEVER eat raw onions, occasionally sautéed, but I knew it wasn't about eating onions........... For those who posted about Donna Karan's Cashmere deodorant, it's nice to know it works. A friend of mine, male, used to have a terrible problem with sweating - not the smell - but excessive sweating. Over a decade ago I turned him onto DK's deodorant for that and it saved him! But then I found something even better....(if you don't mind a chemical solution vs. a more organic approach) - and that is something called Sweat Block. You can buy it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/SweatBlock-Antiperspirant-Clinical-antiperspirant-towelettes/dp/B002PQ8BQM). A box of 8 "antiperspirant towelettes" (like hand wipes) - active ingredient 14% aluminum chloride - no fragrance Shower in the evening before going to bed, apply the towelettes to underarms and go to bed. Honestly, 7 days of no sweat. It worked for my friend and it works for me. 8 weeks of no sweating for $19.99 (if you order more than one box the prices go lower..........)
I can't say for sure how this works with the onion smell, because (a) I don't use the Sweat Block all the time and (b) the onion smell just appears out of nowhere and leaves the same way.
I hope this helps others.....
note: it's only recommended for under arms, but sometimes there are other areas that perspire, OK?!?

All. I've been washing my armpit area with Sunlight dish detergent. I also hand was my shirts in the armpit area with Sunlight dish detergent. As the commercial says - tough on grease, gentle on hands. It helps.
