Body Odor,

Brief Description of the Condition:

Body Odor is an unpleasant smell that comes off the body, usually from the hands and feet, groin, and underarms due to the concentration of the endocrine and apocrine glands in these areas. Often associated with sweat or physical activity. Extra strong or unusual smells may indicate a more serious condition (fungal infection, diabetes, or gastrointestinal disorders).

Our bodies produce two kinds of sweat: eccrine and apocrine. Actually, neither of these liquids has an odor. Eccrine is found all over our bodies. It helps to regulate the body's temperature. Apocrine is the body-odor culprit. It is found in the groin and underarm areas. That well-known sweaty smell occurs only after apocrine reacts with the bacteria on our skin.

Controlling Body Odor

Some of us are "cursed" with bigger and more active apocrine glands than others. And some of us simply aren't as successful as others in getting rid of the bacteria on our skin.

Try these tips:

  • Bathe at least once daily with an antibacterial soap such as Safeguard or Dial. If the problem doesn't soon clear up, you might try a prescription soap such as pHisoHex. Some folks recommend using benzoyl peroxide or an antibacterial ointment. There should be no problem with short term use of such remedies except perhaps some drying of the skin. BUT, as with all medications, be sure to read and follow all instructions BEFORE USE. Get the problem cleared up, then go back to the plain old Safeguard brand or Dial brand soap.
  • Use a deodorant with aluminum or zinc. Either of these metals should kill odor-causing bacteria. Extremely heavy sweaters should use an antiperspirant/deodorant containing aluminum chloride.
  • Launder clothing more often. No matter how busy we get, that trip to the cleaners is a must. Wash clothes at home using an odor-fighting detergent such as Tide.
  • Freshen up in the bathroom with a towelette as many times as necessary during the day. You might also apply some hydrogen peroxide or some witch hazel on the most offending areas of the body.
  • Avoid the regular consumption of spicy or sharp-smelling foods. The odor comes through the pores.

If the above do not work try Xzuber™. We have found Xzuber™ is not only extremely effective in eliminating foot odor, it also has multiple other uses. One of the most effective uses is for persistent and bothersome Underarm Odor and Body Odor. Odor Eraser is all-natural, safe and gentle on your underarm skin. It works where other retail products stop working or won't work at all. If you suffer from persistent or bothersome "B.O." we urge you to try Odor Eraser. We believe it will work where other products have failed. We will even refund your money if it doesn't work for you!

Each jar of Odor Eraser is 1/2 ounces (15 grams). Keep in mind - a little goes a LONG way! Some of our customers only need to re-apply a few times a year (foot or prosthesis use), once the product has been used for a couple of weeks, or so.
