Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Arm pits: This order MAY be related to your diet. Consider avoiding smelly foods such as garlic, onions, cabbage, etc. and see if it helps. You may need to experiment a bit to find the offending food if that’s the case. Otherwise, you can see your doctor who can do some lab work. Peace and good health.
