I have a cousin, that can't help the fact that she sweats profusely from her armpits. Nothing seems to work for her. She's tried ban, dove, secret, and now she's using Secret Clinical Protection.
I personally used to have this same problem, until I turned around 15 or 16 years old. I hated it. I would never wear anything that covered my armpits, regardless of the temperature, because I would sweat all the time! I tried everything. Then I tried Dove, and that seems to do the trick for me. I no longer have that problem anymore.
What do you use for armpit odor? Is there a deodorant that she should try that could help her? Do you think it just might be her hormones, and she should just wave it out until it passes like it did for me?

That stinks. [the pun is unintentional, I just realized that it was.]
I had that problem for a while, but I grew out of it as well. I'm not really sure what to suggest, because after a while this just stopped being an issue for me. I think that it might just be hormones out of whack, and waiting would be good.
If she can't do that, for whatever reason, seeing a doctor about it would probably be her next best bet.

So armpit odor is a global problem.I am lucky that I do not need to worry about it.Though,it is really a great misgiving to most of my girl friends.the bad odor not makes you uncomfortable but also unbearable to people round you.Perfume may be work to ease a lot,I think.
I have heard that could be eliminated completely by operation,why not ask your cousin to have a try then?

Unfortunately, there is nothing she can do, except to try deodorants until she finds one that works for her. I have the same problem. In the Summer I can take a shower, put deodorant on, and if I get too active, in about 2-3 hours I smell as if I haven't done anything. I use the Secret Clinical, but it only works for so long. Probably about 5-6 hours before I must re-apply.
The only thing I can recommend is for her to drink more water. Sometimes its not having enough water in the system that makes a person's armpits strong. It didn't work for me though, but it might help her.
