Causes of unpleasant odor
Sweating is a natural processthermoregulation. It is through the allocation of tiny droplets of liquid produced by a huge number of sweat glands (over 3 million) under the arms, that the human body cools. It would seem that nothing terrible and even useful to occasionally sweat. For example, during training in the gym. But sometimes excessive sweating can bring a lot of unpleasant moments, especially if sweat begins to emit "fragrance". Therefore, it is very important to quickly get rid of the problem, so as not to get into embarrassing situations. Most often, increased sweating is associated with the stress experienced, and more precisely the release of adrenaline into the blood. Also increases the amount of sweat during illness. Probably will manage to sweat at strong heating of an organism, as occurs in jam packed public transport during rush hours. And the disease of hyperhidrosis occurs in the modern world more often. But at the same time it is not necessary for a person to begin to "smell sweet". After all, the freshly sweated sweat of a healthy person has practically no smell. Nauseating aroma manifests itself only during such serious health problems as hormonal disruption, diabetes, obesity and others. In other cases, the smell of sweat is almost invisible ... in the first half hour, for which the development of various colonies of bacteria on human skin. It is the vital activity of these non-pathogenic microorganisms that leads to an extremely unpleasant odor. However, in a healthy person, the appearance of sweat with a very unpleasant odor is quite possible. This is primarily due to the fact that in the armpits, as well as in the chest, genitals and navel are apocrine glands that produce sweat with a special individual secret. It has its own characteristic smell, the stability of which is provided by isovaleric acid. At the same time, the "aroma" of a man is always different from a woman's smell. In women, most often the smell of sweat under the armpits is defined as sour. This is promoted by coccal bacteria - saprophytes. Man's ambre is difficult to describe in words. But he is more unpleasant and stable. This lipophilic diphteroid, which also lives on the human skin, provides this persistence and saturation to it.

Reduction of the ducts occurs under the influence of salts of zinc or aluminum. However, the latter can harm your health. Therefore, you should choose only with zinc salts or other active substances. Which of the means you choose, decide for yourself. However, remember that excessive clogging of pores and reducing sweating on an extremely hot day can be fraught with a heat stroke. However, to achieve such an effect is almost impossible. After all, antiperspirant only reduces sweating, and does not clog pores completely. However, if you are afraid of the negative impact of this remedy, use folk remedies to reduce sweating. Although, of course, in this case you do not get the confidence that you do not smell then.
