What Causes Armpit Chemical Scent?

princessfl80
For this entire year I've had this chemical scent in my underarms, it happens with or without excercise, every single day, a couple of hours after shower and stains clothes. I checked for H pylori, Ammonia and liver panels, everything is normal. I took antibiotics for 1 week it went away so now that I know Im healthy otherwise, I have no clue where this is coming from. I changed my diet to super healthy and I do workout everyday. I feel like Im losing my mind with this, its totally embarrasing.
