Whenever my son sweats in his underarm area, it smells really bad...almost like an older guy would smell if he would get sweaty without wearing any deodorant. Should I be concerned? Did anyone else have this issue with any of their children?

Here's another online thread about this. Some parents seem to have found a correlation with a dairy allergy and body odor at that age.

My almost six year old smells like a teenager in the summer mainly. We increased the baths and showers and uses deodorant.

I would check with the pediatrician anyway.

This is fascinating! I have a friend who switched to goat's milk and cheese, and avoids cow dairy at all costs. She says that she hasn't needed deodorant in years. DD loves all kinds of dairy, and is super stinky (but she's also a hormonal teenager.)

I read a really scary study about the correlation between deodorant use and breast cancer. It blocks your body's way of releasing toxins, and so the nearest lymph nodes have to absorb them. Your lymph nodes also absorb all the chemicals in the deodorant, and eventually, it all piles up in there and can trigger abnormal cell growth. In countries where women do not use fancy body products, the rate of breast cancer is a lot lower than in more modern countries.
