Brilio.net - Sour armpit odor can disturb the people around you and the environment. Usually sour armpit odor is synonymous with poor hygiene. But apart from that, there are other factors that make armpits smell bad. One of them is accumulated dead skin cells, pollution, and leftover deodorant products which can cause unpleasant body odor .
The reason is, dirt can be a place for the growth of bacteria that cause body odor. Apart from these factors, sour armpit odor is also caused by sweat coming into contact with bacteria on the skin. Reporting from vinmec.com, sour armpit odor often occurs in people with hyperhidrosis.
There are two types of sweat glands, namely eccrine and apocrine. Although eccrine glands are spread all over the surface of the body, apocrine glands are only active in areas where there are lots of hair follicles, such as the armpits. This is what causes sour underarm odor.
