Question

My daughter has a bad smell in her armpit. What should we do when we put deodorant on her armpit it becomes darker?

Community Answer

While she is showering maybe use a rag with scrubbers on it to scrub all the bacteria off that's making her armpit smell. If your deodorant makes her armpit darker, use a different one. That current one you're using could have alcohol in it, which is causing your daughter's armpit to become darker.

Question

My daughter uses deodorant but she still has body odor.

Community Answer

She still has to shower or take a bath even though she uses deodorant. You can also try to use a different kind if that one is not effective.

Question

What does it mean if there is a smaller period that only happens 2 days?

Community Answer

Nothing really, it just means you had a short period. A normal period can last anywhere between 3-7 days and for some people just 2 days. If a period is for less then two days and it is just a little bit of spotting, I would be concerned but still would not take a test until a period is actually late.
