London, UK

I struggle with an unpleasant smell from my left armpit only - for some reason it does not effect my right armpit! I can't get rid of the smell, even after coming out of the shower and having washed that armpit several times, I can still smell it.

Hope you are all having a good, pain free Friday 🥰

Lindsey4, this is ONLY a suggestion cause I do not have issues in my under arms, maybe try "Vagisil ph wash" in the purple bottle... read the ingredients for no conflict to your meds first!
I used a few times full body when knowing I'd have a sweaty day around folks and didn't want to smell like perspiration.
Just a suggestion, good luck in finding lume or another solution 🙏

Hi Ivy, thank you, hopefully I can get this in the UK! I call them worms but I think they are actually skin matter from inside the tunnel where it gets clogged up until I push it out again 🙃 I am stage two with some tunneling

Yes I use Mitcham too. It's the only one that I found has worked.

I personally use and only use Mitchem gel 48hr protection from the time I was diagnosed. Tried every product on market which caused me to have bad flare-ups. B great if we could go w/o deodorant!!
