Stinky Pits
My armpits have been extra stinky for a couple years now. One doctor I went to told me to use tea tree oil, which didn't work. The next gave me Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Acne Wash, a Ketoconazole shampoo (2 percent), and Erythromycin topical gel (2 percent.) The washes left me just as stinky, but the gel works for 7 hours and then wears off. A Z-Pak worked temporarily, but as soon I stopped taking the pills the effect wore off too. How can I rid this forever?

apply fucidic acid cream twice a day daily for 1 month.. and trim away your axillary hair. there should not be any skin patches or redness or calling... do this for 1 month and then followup with me if needed through online consultation. hope this is helpful.
