A member asked:

I'm a teenager. extreme underarm odor. i take a shower once a day in evening and wear deodorant. but odor is very strong. please, any advice? thanks

I agree antibacteria: soap will help. A older dermatologist recommended baby powder or cornstarch and reapply if necessary it should stop the odor and the wetness. Hopefully it doesnt irritate it, if not try asking a dermatologist about this.
