I was talking about hygiene with my partner who is a nurse and they were telling me that a lot of people remark that their armpits are smelling worse than normal and they are using more and more deodorant and people just think it is normal.

Trichobacteriosis looks like a yellowish coating on some of your armpit or groin hair and you need to shave and wash the area every day for 2 weeks. It is more common in men than women in the US only because it is more common for women to keep their armpits shaved. Most of the patients who are affected by it think that its actually residue from the increasing amounts of deodorant they end up using.

    When I avoided bathing due to depression, my crotch smelled terrible. Dunno if it was this, but wow. Glad to feel better.

      Hey, glad you’re feeling better!! Depression sucks! I go through the same battles of not being motivated to shower every day. I got a bidet, which helps, and splash water on my head and face. It’s not the same, but better than nothing.

          Hey. Don’t judge me. You use your bidet your way, and I’ll use mine in my way. Besides, it makes for a great water pik when I’m brushing.

          The bidet is the Swiss army knife of the bathroom.
