sa_2006	When BO is not a distinct sweaty smell, consult your doctor, as it could be the sign of a health problem. A beer-like odour, for instance, could indicate a yeast condition, a nail polish remover smell could indicate diabetes and an ammonia smell might indicate liver disease. to overcome such problem Improve personal hygiene Your daily routine should include thorough washing using soap, especially in areas where there are many sweat-producing glands, such as the armpits and feet. It is essential to clean these areas as bacteria will act on the sweat and contribute to body odour. Use deodorants Different ingredients in deodorants may work better on some people than others. So, if your deodorant does not work well or have a lasting effect, it may be worthwhile to try out a different brand. Laundry Concentrate on washing the area that comes in maximum contact with sweat. Always wear washed clothes. These might do the trick: * Avoid wearing synthetic and tight-fitting clothes. * Avoid hot drinks and, if possible, crowded places. * Wash clothes more often. It’s advisable to use a detergent that helpsfight odour. * Bathe with an Antibacterial soap. Antibacterial ointments are available at chemist shops as well. Consult your GP before use. * Avoid consumption of spicy or sharp-smelling foods. The odour comes through your pores. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CherryEyez	My friends son was that age too when he started to have BO. She just let him wear deoderant I would say just don't let him wear an anti-persperant type because that is stronger than regular deoderant. Only other thing I can think of is maybe you need to change his diet if you allow him to eat spicy foods. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

n.t.	A very easy thing to do- Put deoderant on right before going to bed. He will be noticeibly less smelly the next day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hollie	because of his height and weight he may just have a hormonal inbalance causing his body to be tricked into thinking it needs to start maturing. sound weird but its the same with girls, when a girl gets to be about 95 pounds that when they will start menstruating. deodorant may not be the only thing you have to worry about. he needs to see a doctor to be checked for an inbalance because he might need medicine to stop the premature puberty. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paramedic Girl	There could be a medical reason for this, so you should speak to your pediatrician before using anything, including deoderant. Have him wear cotton only shirts as it helps the skin to breathe more easily, as well have him bathe in the morning before school rather than at night. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ralph M	You should probably get him to the doctor for some tests. There are all sorts of conditions that may cause this symptom and it would be best to find it and treat it as soon as possible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Walking on Sunshine	Make sure he is well hydrated - many children develop unsavory odors when mildly dehydrated. Use baking soda in his bath water to help neutralize the odor and to avoid the chemicals of regular deodorant buy the crystal kind they work really well and don't have the aluminum and other chemicals that can be worrisome on such a young one. Good Luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shell P	Often the foods consumed can cause body odor. Garlic, Asparagus, etc. It could also be due to an autoimmune problem. You should probably check with your pediatrician. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cope_acetic	Take him to his doctor for a thorough check-up. There are certain diseases or disorders that manifest themselves with odors. Talk to the doctor about alternatives. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bethany b	Rather than look into an alternative for underarm deodorant you should be checking with his physician to see why his hormones kicking in at a younger age than normal, he could be having a serious problem. If he checks out fine with the Dr. then underarm deodorant shouldn't be a big deal for you, after all would you rather risk his emotional well being by keeping him a baby longer and causing him to be an outcast among his friends or rather allow him to be clean and oder free. If you do end up having to use deodorant on him you can go with something completely odorless like original degree. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sparkles	There is a deodorant he can use named "Crystal" that is a natural, aluminum free roll on and made of mineral salts. I know what you mean, ours is 9, and he did this at 8 years of age. He also mentioned some of the other boys is his class are also wearing deodorant and anti-perspirants. Our son doesn't eat fast food very often or eat junk food. So the only time he gets anything with additives is from the school lunch menu. Everything else he eats is hormone and antibiotic free. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

aspca volunteer	have your pediatrician check him out for clogged armpit glands or maybe its something your son is eating,if one eats garlicky foods it comes out through the skin even underarms! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JD	if you don't like the idea of regular deodorant, try mineral spray. you can find it in the drug store or at an organic grocery store. they have it in liquid or crystal form, and it is found in the deodorant section. it might help at least a little. also there are things that can be taken internally, like mint tablets. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

krisindeed	I know you want to avoid deoderant, but you can also buy some all natural deoderant that doesnt contain anything that could harm him. Its only a couple of bucks more than regular deoderant, if that. Other than that, just may need to shower more than the average kid and make sure he's cleaning his body right (if he's doing it by himself sometimes that can be a problem) Anyways, good luck to you on this, I hope you figure it out! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♫♥Clique of the Biitchesz♥♫™	its totally normal. my son had the same problem at 5 years old, and the doctor said some kids who sweat early go through puberty much earlier. just let him wear deoderant. trust me, youll be glad you did. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
