15. Does a medical condition cause underarm odor?

I assume everyone washes. The underarm area is home to sweat glands--just like the butt crack area and the folds of the vagina (if you are healthy)--and washing those areas clean several times a day will not stop the sweat. The decaying bacteria/fungi in dark, moist areas of your body will smell bad without deodorant.

This is an important issue because even if your nethers don't have an odor (and maybe you should see a doctor about that; there might be something wrong with your sweat glands), other people, especially women, are conscious of their body odor and traditionally have used baby powder to take care of it Baby powder is absorbent and smells good.

It also causes ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Women need an alternative to baby powder, and I am glad to see something non-carcinogenic on the market.
