Suara.com – Armpit smell produced by each person is different depending on the activity to the food. But did you know that the smell armpit left and right are also not the same?
Dermatologists from Cornell-New York Presbyterian Medical Center, Marisa Garschick, MD, and Beth Goldstein, MD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, say it could be the use of deodorants or antiperspirants.
Antiperspirants and deodrants work differently. Antiperspirants block the production of sweat that becomes when mixed with bacteria on your skin while deodorants mask the smell of sweat.
The second reason, you forgot to shave on one side. Armpit hair traps more sweat than skin so there is more chance of sweat on the more hairy side to mix with odor -causing bacteria.

Goldstein says it’s mandatory to have a check-up to make sure both armpits are shaved before stepping out of the shower.
This according to him is evidenced by research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, which says removing armpit hair through shaving or waxing is an effective way.
The next cause of smelly armpits is that one of your arms is working harder than the other.
“Theoretically, a person could sweat more on one side than the other,” says Garschick.
So, if you use one arm more intensely, such as carrying a heavy bag or purse on your right shoulder for a long time, then those armpits may smell more.
