Smells

[koketika 33]

I’m a month post op and I noticed that as my body is constantly in ketosis, I feel like I always smell. Do any of you have any experience of smelly crotches and breathe?

Any tips to alleviate the smelliness?

There was a recent thread about bad breath. One suggestion was to chew parsley. On the smelly crotch, there's a real thing called "keto crotch ". You can Google it. Not sure there is a cure.

Congrats 💜 you're a fat burn machine 💃

I scrub those areas (underarms and V area) with soap and a small brush (like a mani pedi or body brush) to really get rid of the bacteria accumulated on the surface. Then perhaps wipes throughout the day.

Good luck 🌈

For me it's my armpits, but your suggestion has merit, I think I'll try and see if it makes a difference. Thanks Green Tealael!

Try lemon to clean the armpit while taking a shower or bath. hair under the armpit also traps bacteria.

Summers eve body wash is very scent neutralizing

Coconut oil and tea tree oil for the pits.

Thank you everyone for this thread! I’m at 25lbs lost, 3 weeks post op. I’m constantly brushing my teeth, extra shower a day. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. Thanks for the tips.

I experienced these things too but it seemed to go away once my body adjusted. I felt so gross the first month
