Hi Doctor,  My Name is Abby Nicole G. Da-ga and I m 13 years old. I have a body odor but my hygiene is very clean I shower everyday to be honest when I go for a shower it takes me an hour to finish up.  But I searched for treatments on the internet about body odor and they told me the best solution is to put on Baking Soda. I tried it and I was glad because it worked but there are some side effects, my armpits became really dark unlike before when I havent started using baking soda then its leathery that i can remove the brown skin and sometimes I m having a red rash. I dont want to have a body odor so I continued using it. But I dont want to risk my armpits being brown. But I did.  So I tried putting vaseline on my armpits because I think it would work being odorless, flaky, leathery and stopping it from being really brown.  I did a test a while ago, this month I tried to be healthy so I exercise everyday. Then I putted vaseline on my armpits then do my regular workout after that I smelled my armpits and it has no odor at all and I m quite amazed because my armpits was dry even though I had my exercise. (I sweat a lot to especially my armpit area thats why all of my clothes are either black or white I have clothes with different colors but its dry fit even though I sweat, my armpit sweat area wont be seen)  I did this test because I wanted to check when I sweat with vaseline on will I have an odor? And can I use this everyday as my deodorant? I had my shower then I putted on some vaseline and after 2 hours I checked my armpits if i have an odor then I had a little.  Is that method correct? Please help me doctor I dont want to have this odor and discoloration anymore. I spent my elementary and highschool days with my armpit odor and dark arms. I tried deodorants, that stone deodorants, lemon, powder, even hair oil but when I had a solution it has a bad side affect. Thank You :) Best Regards, Abby
