armpit odor from only one pit?

3 answers - active on Jan 3rd 2013
so i am a 25 year old woman and i have, over the last three years, developed a fairly strong odor from my right armpit - but not in my left. what do you think is causing this? a regular deodorant will last maybe an hour on my right pit and will last all day on my left. i have not yet tried any type of clinical strength deodorant, i was hoping to remedy this some other way - for good. maybe it is a horomone imbalance?

I have been using a Natrual homemade deoderant for the past 3 mths and also noticed one side is fine and the other is very sour smelling. ??
I think that's normal. It used to do that to me.
Hi, You have to understand that our body is not one hundred percent identical on left and right side. So what happens on one side of our body might not happen on the other. So I don’t think that this is odd that you have foul smell only under one armpit and the other one is fine. This is just how your body has developed. Now the thing is that change in body odor doesn’t indicate to anything goo and it can be a sign of some kind of disease. Also there is a possibility of bacterial infection. However this has to be tested to be confirmed. Do you take any medication on regular basics? I hope this helped a bit.
