Where's the best place to measure body temperature? i have excessive sweating and my armpits are cold so when i measure my temp then it shows low temp
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adult: The best temp is from oral temp in adult, unless you are looking for minute changes, then rectal temp is most accurate. This is used for basal body temp variations for ovulation.

Is it better to not use antiperspirants so your sweat just flows out? Maybe sweating is better for the body? Problem is it makes my armpits smell.
