I have serious body odor problems, Can anyone help me?
It’s mainly in my armpits and feet. They both sweat a lot, and stink as my day goes on. I’ve tried the medicine deoderant that they sell at Kroger, but that doesn’t work. My mom told me about one of her remedies she uses. In a baby powder container, I put a cup of salt, one cup of baking soda, and two cups of baby powder. After I shake it up to mix it together, I put it in my armpits and on my feet. It seems to be working (the salt drys up the sweat and the baby powder and abking soda keep it fresh) but it’s starting to itch and turn red in those areas. Does anyone have any better ideas?
It is the trapped moisture that causes odor. Instead of a cup, perhaps decrease the amount of salt or eliminate salt in the mixture for a several days until the redness disappears.
• Wash and dry your laundry well, paying special attention to socks and the clothes’ sleeve area; even better if you can hand wash these prior to putting in the washing machine.
• Wear fresh clothes everyday.
• Wear different shoes everyday in order to allow the shoes to dry overnight. If possible, place the shoes under indirect sunlight to thoroughly dry them.
• Thoroughly dry your feet prior to wearing socks and shoes.
• Change your clothes into fresh ones several times a day if you perspire.
