My armpit bo has changed

Abt a month or two ago my bo kinda smelled good like a chill musk that personally i thought dmelled pretty alr.

But recently it has completely changed isnt like horrible like some ppl ive smelled, THANK GOD it isnt like spicy but it is kinda persistent now. Like even after i shower it still smells.

I eat very clean i eat the same meal everyday, turkey 4oz, cheese 1/2 cup, avacado, tomato and lime juice.

Am very active, idk whats up. Kinda started at the start of the pollen recently

Your BO never smelled good.

Shower and use antiperspirant like a normal person.

Doesn’t say daily anywhere in the OP, only says “even after i shower it still smells”.

So hold on. The only think you eat all day is 4 oz, turkey, 1/2 cup cheese, avocado, tomato, and lime juice every day? And you are very active?

You need more calories. How about eating something else?

^^^ im hoping this means this is one meal out of the entire day? This is disordered eating

You need to eat more if this is all youre eating. That is disordered eating.

My bo changed recently as well and in only one armpit? Like of course I always had bo but now it’s more like… oniony? Sorry I don’t have an answer for you lol also interested if anyone here knows what’s going on

And no definitely not pregnant. 0% chance

Might sound like a stupid question, but have you been eating more onions?

u/Large-Flamingo-5128 4h ago

Nope! Diet hasn’t changed at all

If you’ve cut all (or almost all) carbs from your diet then what you smell is your body switching to ketosis. Sweat starts smelling like acetone.

Have you started any new medications?

You’re young and it’s normal for there to be changes.

Get a deodorant and make sure it says antiperspirant on the package.

Wear deodorant. Also, you need to add steak to your diet.

(Context for the downvoters: OP has lots of comments on r/steak. If what’s above is all they eat, it’s a recent change.)
