DEODORANT
Deodorant for hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating works to stop sweat that reacts with decomposing bacteria and uric acid

Deodorants are in most cases, chemicals, either natural or synthetic which are applied to the body, generally on the axillary or armpit region. Wikpedia classifies a "subgroup" of deodorants as antiperspirants. Antiperspirants according to the FDA can only be used on the armpits whereas they will allow deodorants to be used on other parts of the body such as the hands, face and feet. Sweat in and of itself is largely odorless. However, covering the human body is bacteria which under heat and humidity in the armpit region, breaks down and ferments with uric acid and produces an ammonia like smell. Armpit hair adds to the odor by providing an extended surface area from which the bacteria can grow. Therefore, shaving your armipts will help reduce armpit odor. Deodorants work to basically cover up the odor. Some deodorant kinds work to kill the bacteria within the armpit sweating. A deodorant is not regulated by the FDA. A dedoroant is classified as a cosmetic and not a drug, unlike antiperspirants. The first deodorant was Mum, and was introduced at the end of the ninetheeth century. A deodorant can be formulated with metal chelating agents that slow bacteria growth or may combine an antibacterial such as triclosan. What I have found to be a significantly effective deodorant is 10% benzoyl peroxide. You can use a peroxide bar of soap or the acne cream and wash your armpits with it. You will find this to work very effectively. The downside is that it can bleach your clothing.

One of the best dedorants is Maxim. Even though Maxim is technically an antiperspirant, because it will stop armipt sweating, it will work to stop the fermentation of the bacteria.
