Cosmetic Procedures to Get Rid of Strong Underarm Odors?
Are any kind of cosmetic procedures to get rid of strong underarm odors?
Since, I started puberty, I started having a strong odor under my arms which it hard to keep under control.
I buy expensive "clinical strength" deodrants and shower daily to keep it under control. Are any kind of cosmetic procedures to get rid of this problem?

Bromomhidrosis
You are describing a condition called bromhidrosis.
There are some cosmetic procedures that are quite valuable, but I would recommend starting with simple, and far less expensive measures first.
Hygeine in the area such as thoroughly washing the axillary vault (the whole armpit), prompt removal of sweaty clothes, and the use of a deodorant ( rather than antiperspirant). Adherence to a regular shaving routine will minimize the growth of bacteria and sweat on the hair shafts....

Procedures to get rid of strong underarm sweating odors?
The most common cause is uncontrolled sweating. The use of Botox, usually 50U per arm pit, has worked wonders on many people with this problem.

I would strongly advise you to be examined and if present be treated for HYPERHYDROSIS with Botox. It may very well change your life for the better.
Good Luck.
