Excessive sweating and odor after laser hair removal treatment?

November 10, 2016
Asked By:Alex Vause in Tel Aviv, IL

I'm nearly done with the laser treatment to remove armpit hair, it's almost all gone now but lately I've noticed I've been sweating a lot more and the odor is unbearable. I've always been sweating a bit more than normal but a good deodorant would keep things under control. Now no deodorant works, I sweat the minute I get out of the shower with a horrible odor I never had before. I even sweat while sitting down without being hot or cold. Any idea what might've happened and how can I treat this? Thanks!
