Q: what would cause just one armpit to have onion smelling odor? the other one is fine. ive tried switching deodorants, soaps, and trying to reduce sweat?

: there may be an explanation if you have a fungal growth or an early abscess underneath the affected armpit. check for any redness or tenderness. an abscess can start as an ingrown hair follicle as well.
