The body odor of my five years …?
I gave my five year old son a hug this morning, when I suddenly realize that their armpits – that was a very strong smell body odor! I've never noticed before and I do not know if concerned or not. I searched the web, and there were a lot reasons listed, but nothing really concrete. I was wondering if anyone had this experience with their preteens and what are the results. Thanks! How often do you bathe not a problem – there are no children in the BO should be old, regardless of how often you bathe. If you have had experience with this really have a useful answer.
Although it is a bit unusual for one to five years to have a noticeable body odor problem. At this age, the skin glands that produce secretions after are decomposed by bacteria by scent, have not been significantly driven by the secondary sex hormones. Changes at puberty, however, which include growth hair in the armpits and the increased activity of the secretary glands in the skin, it causes a strong odor. You can be the subject of early puberty, but other explanations too. It is a rare disease known as syndrome of fish when the person that releases a chemical known methylmercaptopurine, which is the relative deficiency an enzyme needed in the body to break some normal food ingredients. Without these enzymes, the chemical accumulates in the body must be excreted by glands of the skin causing this odor. The good news is that avoiding certain foods may solve the problem. Another possible explanation is that some synthetic materials in clothing can react with sweat and cause a specific odor. Also, some people, including children, are simply born with more sweat glands in a given area than others and they need to take extra precautions to mask the resulting odor. There is a treatment called high Anhydrol, which contains aluminum chloride in a roll-on bottle to reduce sweating under the arms, hands and feet when applied at night and washed off in the morning. My advice would be to try to wash clothes in hot water to remove any residual odor, then using a strong Anhydrol and if that fails, ask your child's doctor about a referral organization with a dietitian to avoid the offending foods – If the fish odor syndrome is the cause.
