My neice has a underarm problem she smells bad and i dont know why?

Question

she is ony 3 years old she bathes all the time and still smells and the odor is strong can someone please help ..

Answer 1

Scrub her with a sponge with scented body wash. Scrub the underarms real good. If it dosen't work try using secret deoderant.

Answer 2

It's called taking the child to the doctor because obviously there is a medical problem here.

Answer 3

It could have alot to do with her diet. Alot of different foods bring out a different smell when you sweat. For example garlic & onions (some lunchmeat) everybodys body reacts differently.

Answer 4

Has your niece been seen by her doctor to see if it is a medical reason?  Diet could cause the problem, but it's best to see what the doctor has to say. IMO

Answer 5

deodorant.

Answer 6

She is so young, I would guess it has to do with her diet. It is caused by bacteria. Is she eating garlic or onions in her diet? I would tell her parents to talk to their pediatrician if it is persistant and that bad, it may be an underlying condition. I would also ask her pediatrician before applying deoderant just in case.

Answer 7

my daughter is six and has the same problem. I called her doctor and she said not to use deodorant because of her age. She said a anit-persperant would be ok but i have been using a shower to shower powder that i apply under her arms and this seems to help and she likes to put it on herself it makes her feel like a big girl (even though she makes such a mess lol)

Answer 8

The odor will have something to do with her diet. Try giving her lots of fruit and vegetables for a few days. You will find an improvement.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Deodorant has been invented for a while now. Shes musty.

Answer 11

deodorant or try changing the soap she uses.

Answer 12

deoderant maybe??? :P

Answer 13

I have found body odor is caused by diet or hormones or both.  Since she is only 3, I don't know if hormones would be an issue.  What is her diet?  Is it heavy with fast foods, meat, dairy?  If so, that could explain it.
