My 8 year old son has a bad smell in his armpits even though he showers every day. What can I do about it?

Hello, does your child have allergies? Have you tried anything besides showers to deal with the situation? Does your child sweat a lot just during physical exertion or during the day?

Granted, given their young age, tweens' skin is still developing and fragile to scented agents like deodorants and antiperspirants. What would be advisable are deodorants with a short and simple list of ingredients that do not contain aluminum, parabens, alcohol and little fragrance. Go see your pharmacist so that he or she can recommend a hypoallergenic product that will meet your needs.I hope I've been able to help you and don't hesitate to contact us with any future questions!
