Does underarm hair contributes to body odor and underarm sweat?
Actually, the hair helps the sweat to evaporate, both underarms and on the upper lip. Palms of the hands get sweaty feeling because there is no hair on them to aid in evaporation. Eliminating the hair will not lessen body odor or sweat. Be sure that you are showering often, and try different soaps to see if one in particular makes a difference. I have always perspired profusely, and started at age 15 using a deodorant made by Mitchum. I have used it for over 40 years, and it has worked well. They have a men’s line as well as a women’s line. I highly recommend that you try it, or something else if what you are using does not work for you.
