Smelly Armpit Q&A › Category: Questions › Smelly Armpit 0 Vote Up Vote Down Anonymous asked 7 years ago I have one armpit that smells immediately after a shower. Any ideas why? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down drarmpit answered 7 years ago This is because bacteria are present in the sweat glands. Sweat is converted into malodour inside the skin. That is why the skin smells even right after a shower. A shower unfortunately doesn't rinse the sweat glands.
