Q: 

Armpit odor without seating

What can cause armpit odor without sweating? Can just get out of shower and 10 minutes later, I can smell myself again. I have tried clinical deodorants and it help for about a week or so. I am where I was again. I am frustrated and don't know what else to do.

Hello. Thank you for your message.

Sweating is the main cause of body odor as is poor hygienic habits.  But there are other causes:
Intake of spicy foods involving garlic, onions, curries also result in a temporary change in smell. Deficiency of zinc, toxins, and cavities along with other dietary imbalances bring alterations in the natural body smell.
Stress and anxiety, at times, result in underarm odor since the body sweats profusely in case of stress.
Armpit odor can be hereditary as family members are generally found to have related smells.
Diseases like kidney or liver illness and diabetes are also among armpit odor causes. 
Taking strong medicines can affect the body smell at times.  
Gastrointestinal problems, skin problems, bacterial growth, fungal infection, fever and prolonged infections are also some causes of armpit odor.
