underarm odor in young chidren
Posted by morrisa to Pediatric/Parenting, Nov 3, 2009 7:05pm
Doctors,
My 5 y/o daughter has underarm odor. I would love to see you do a segment providing parents with info regarding this. In addition to information suggesting the possibility of early puberty, there is some information on the internet that suggest this may be caused by drinking milk from cows injected with hormones. These articles suggest that having your child drink organic milk will resolve the issue. Is there any truth to this??? And, are there any special soaps or deodorants that would be safe and effective to use for children this young?

I know, what is with that? My 8 year old daughter can smell as bad as a teenage boy on days that she has P.E. or does alot of running at recess. I honestly have to roll my windows down as soon as she jumps in the car after school sometimes! I don't recall sweating or b.o. until I reached puberty, she doesn't show any other signs of early puberty. I try to buy most of our milk from Braum's ice cream store because they don't use hormones on their cows.
