No offence but that's why many Indians and South Asians have bad BO when they don't use deodorant. Unpopular fact but the truth hurts, unfortunately many choose to ignore that. However, if you've been on a bus with sweaty, stinky South Asians, you'll know it's not an illusion.
I have a tip as a non-board-certified non-dermatologist. When you get in the shower, immediately put an acne face wash with benzoyl peroxide (i.e. Clean & Clear) on your pits and let it sit there while you wash your hair and body. Rinse it off last. Then when you're out of the shower, apply a glycolic acid toner (i.e. The Ordinary) on your pits. Do this every time you take a shower and watch (or smell, I suppose) your odour go away. Consistency is key. Also helps to brighten the underarms
Love the benzoyl peroxide wash But please don't use exfoliants in your underarms so often I have seen people get burned even on using it only twice a week
Use an antiperspirant deodorant 2x and it helps the whole day. A gel one doesn't leave residue. Also wash pits with a high 10% benzoyl peroxide, if it doesn't irritate. Reduces that bacteria . Dr Dray gives those tips Sorry but we like seasoned food
Benzoyl peroxide body or face wash is amazing for pits and feets - put it on damp skin for half a minute or so. dramatically cuts on smell for me the next day
i do not use anti perspirant as we need these toxins to be released. sweating is one way of releasing these toxins. i use deodorant instead. what i noticed that make me NOT smell is, sweating more by running, hiking, long walks, workouts and likes
I wish she knew more about acidic deodorants. Acidic deodorants have been amazing for me. They neutralize the scent without masking it. I use an unscented one from Necessaire, but there are a number of brands out there like Lume and Kosas.
@@user-vh3gn3xq7s low pH products are acidic. Lume, Kosas, and Necessaire are three brands that come to mind. Most natural deodorant brands use baking soda, which has a high pH, making those products basic instead of acidic. The skin has an acidic pH, so low pH products don't disrupt the skin as much - especially for people who react badly to high pH products.
@@user-vh3gn3xq7s they use acids like glycolic acid to kill the bacteria that causes odor. Also, the pH is closer to your skin's natural pH. TheY can also be exfoliating and help with ingrown hair. Google the brands I listed above for more information.
use benzol proxide to wash between your fold every day , moistrize after better if y use salicylic acid as leave on and your good for the day, my personal experience maby it will help someone.
All I do is spray glycolic acid toner (3%) after shower. No smell even after I sweat. Trust me it helps alot. I tried benzoyl peroxide cleanser but it didn't work for me, so glycolic acid is life saver for me.
Lume is an excellent product... it is a deodorant and totally cuts odor and lasts for up to approximately 72 hrs per application. Also works safely on ALL body parts: pits, cracks and crevices! No bad ingredients either!
Tried every deodorant and antiperspirant, I was prescribed Drysol and that works but can’t be used everyday. Panoxyl helps and drinking A LOT of water. Tried Botox, painful and didn’t help. I can’t give up Garlic and I’ve upped my showers to three times a day when I work from home. Hope this helps 🤷♀️
I used hydrogen peroxide on a cotton wool to whiten armpits but accidentally discovered that it gets rid of body odour as well. Now i never have to use deodorant again
A pharmacist on CZcams recommended ditching soap cleansers for emollient washes to prevent body odor. Is this something you recommend for your patients?
I dont believe that, if you dont like the smell of your partner it means not compatible, the pheromones in the armpits tell people if they are right for eachother, is chemistry, literally
@@user-vh3gn3xq7s I guess the English word for it is Sodium bicarbonate (it’s almost the same as baking soda). I used to mix it with a little water and just put it under my arms (little annoying when it dries and crumbles) but it’s really effective against odor (you’ll still sweat though). You can also heat up a lil coconut oil and maybe lavender oil and mix it with the sodium and fill it in a little glass or something and let it cool down/get hard. (Today I use deodorant from a brand called “plants are purple”, it’s awesome (don’t know if available in your country)).
It did for me! Awful. I recently discovered it could be due to bacteria changing. Like the laser might have killed the non-smelly ones and then others could take over. Not 100% sure but has bothered me for years. I asked the laser person and they said never heard of that happening. But same thing happened to my mum. We went to the same person. Coincidence? Has put me off doing more laser as god knows what else can happen
Most people from different countries like Haiti they tend to have a smell because of the foods that they eat and it's really bad even if you live in hot climate and it's like most people from different countries
I'd like to know if you could put a regular chemical sunscreen on your scalp. I would also like to know about the cacao seed extract in skin care. Consumer Reports told that there is lead in the chocolate.
I’ve never been to Australia but Panoxyl is just the brand name and the ingredient is Benzoyl Peroxide. The brand Panoxyl has a face wash that has 3 or 4% and another face wash that has 10%. I’m sure there’s other brands in Australia that sell Benzoyl Peroxide face cleansers! 😃
Curry is not an ingredient. It’s a type of food that colonisers painted over with one word because it was too varied and nuanced and they couldn’t understand it. It’s also the primary type of food consumed by several global south cultures. No, it does not make us “smell bad.” That is an extremely racist and harmful stereotype that has led to the Indian diaspora kids in schools in the traditionally Caucasian cultures being bullied for decades. Wouldn’t have expected to see it propagated by a doctor.
Wow… sorry but curries do smell, and the ingredients in them DO cause body odor. You can’t deny facts because you’re wanting to fight a stereotype. Just like humans look different, sound different, do you not believe that they also smell different? Everyone has a different odor to them.
well most "Indians" smell and have a strong body odor thats very unpleasant. it's like in the hair clothes and oozing from pores. it's not racist it's fact. I even have Indian friends who joke they can smell a fellow Indian even if they don't see them.
I’m desi and all those foods you mentioned are key in our food

@@chetnasingh2020 very true, my bad
Dr Shereen, tried and test glycolic acid - you sweat but never smell
The benzoyl peroxide trick is amazing and works for feet as well!
Glycolic acid is live saver for me, after shower spray it on my armpit, no smell after it even if I sweat. I use 3% glycolic acid toner.

What antiperspirant deodorant gel do you use?
I dab apple cide vinegar on my pits after shower. Once its dries off, no smell for the whole day.
I adore garlic, onion, curry though and I am not letting go of them 😂 I AM wearing a deo with anti perspirants though and that gets the work done

Dumbest thing I've ever read.
Same, I’ve been using deodorant for decades. Antiperspirants will block your lymph nodes.
You still sweat on other parts of your body.
My sweat only seems to smell really bad when I’m stressed 😭😭😭

Yeah, it's crazy how it completely makes the smell disappear.
Does salicylic acid work as well?
@@argo8276 it can. My first experiment was with the Cosrx BHA toner. It worked well. The Necessaire roll- on is just a more convenient. application.
Thank you Gaga

i’ve done botox, it really does work

Please also guide us how to handle oily scalp
i just developed ammonia-sweat 😅 they write its caused by dehydration 😮
I've been taking protein supplements for the past week or so, and does that cause body odor cause I'm usually not this stinky 😂
Is there an alternative to Panoxyl? I live in Australia and they don’t sell Panoxyl in stores anywhere.
I’ve never been to Australia but Panoxyl is just the brand name and the ingredient is Benzoyl Peroxide. The brand Panoxyl has a face wash that has 3 or 4% and another face wash that has 10%. I’m sure there’s other brands in Australia that sell Benzoyl Peroxide face cleansers! 😃
And all the toxic foods we eat and chemical.
Rub lemon on your armpit. Last me 4 days then i reapply!

so stinky armpit is caused by genetic not Curry?
Completely valid point
Ingredients in curry can have a strong odour though, I notice it on myself as a caucasian after I eat it.

So you don’t eat Chinese food? Because what you just ask to avoid Chinese food contains all. I want to know what you eat?
Block sweat? 😂😂😂😂
I take a Chlorophyll supplement & have no smell anymore, even my poo barely smells.
Which brand and dosage?
