A member asked:
I have excessive sweeting ( hot flashes) which causes really strong under arm smell what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperhidrosis: You might have a disorder of the innervation of the sweat glands that causes the excessive sweating. It could also be a hormonal issue if you have recently started or changed birth control methods. Did this just start suddenly or has it been slowly worsening? I would talk with your Family Doctor about it.
