armpit's smell because what peole dont want to admit is its an attractive smell just like in the pubic regions. Pheremones can attract opposite sex in very primal, unconscious ways.

Most probably bacteria and fungi, because of the sweat. It's nourishment or them, you know, but if you wash them every time you wear them, and have a shower before getting dressed (never forgetting the deodorant), the chance of having problems, mainly with bad smell, will diminish considerably.

you need armpits as a main ingredient\nand a shaver\nand use it upwards, never downwards so you are smooth

The smell you are finding is due to moisture and warm conditions that allow bacteria to grow and multiply. Yes bacteria. The smell comes from the "output" of this bacteria as it feeds. The same thing is responsible for underarm odor.\n\nYes, this could be bad if it is not taken care of. First it is generally unhealthy to be covered in too much bacteria anywhere on your body (though you will always have some so don't worry). The area in question could become sore, chaff, and ever get infected. Luckily the fix is simple, wash it every day in the shower.

as you say..you run on your feet, after a day of running they are going to stink so when you remove your shoes you nose is bound to run from that stinky smell. LOL..\n\nActually it all has to do with your genetics.

Yup, that's a shaving rash, which means you have sensitive skin down there, which means that shaving is a REALLY bad idea. Most likely in a few days you will notice that (to be blunt) that area stinks. The hair allows for good air circulation, so hairless people don't evaporate sweat normally, which leads to a ripe odor and more skin irritation. Keep your hair very clean, but keep it!

You might have a bacteria infection on your body somewhere. Take into consideration where the odor is coming from...If you can pin point where it's coming from, see your doctor. \nIt could also be your clothing. Do you have pets? Wash your clothes?

It has to do with humidity.  The higher the humidity level, the more chances you have of sweating and therefore it feels like your deodorant has melted.

you probably have some sort of fungus that produces the smell.  kill the fungus, stop the smell.

underarm odor is based in the perspiration that hits bactiria that is normally on one's skin--the odor comes from the fact that the perpiration cannot evaporate like it does on the rest of the body--a meatless diet usually would not change that.

The fat insulates their bodies so they sweat to cool off. Their pores are also kind of stretched out. The smell is from the large amount of blood sugar processing and being expelled in the sweat.

Sweat if similar to urine in it's composition. Being properly hydrated and during exercise, sweat shouldn't smell like that if your body is free of toxins. Proper diet and exercise should resolve your problem. Many drugs can contribute to strange Oder's in sweat too. consider seeking medical advise and blood tests to determine your bodies needs and condition for treatment.\n\nUnusually smelly perspiration is actually a pretty common complaint, as is excessive perspiration. Sweat glands on the hands, feet, and forehead are active from birth; other sweat glands under the arms are activated during puberty. It's perfectly normal for a 12-year-old to have odorous underarms.\n\nThe sweat itself doesn't smell--at least not at first. But sweat activates certain bacteria that normally live on the skin, and it's the bacteria that produce the unpleasant odor. There are some rare diseases that cause children's sweat to smell very bad or unusual, but these problems are present from infancy, and are very, very unlikely in an adolescent who is otherwise healthy. By far, the most probable cause for smelly sweat is simply, well, smelly sweat. The medical term for excessive sweat is hyperhydrosis; the term for smelly sweat is bromhydrosis.\n\nWash with an antibacterial soap (Dial, for example) and use a deodorant, especially after exercising. Deodorants containing aluminum chloride are often effective in reducing sweat. Look out for rashes, however. Some children are sensitive to deodorants or the fragrances they are mixed with.\n\nIf washing and deodorants don't help, ask your doctor about topical medications that can reduce sweat or kill the bacteria that cause the smell. Some pediatricians and family doctors like to refer this problem to dermatologists, who may have more experience dealing with severe problems of this sort.
