Perspiration is normal and common at from certain stages in life especially from the stage of adolescence.

Boys perspire under their armpits. Perspiration is a salty liquid secreted by sweat glands. This liquid leaves the body through tiny openings in the skin called pores. The armpits become damp and have a musty smell or odour when boys or men are involved in most physical activities.

Boys/Men perspire even more when the weather or their surrounding is warm.  That makes it necessary and important to bathe or shower regularly everyday. At least twice a day.

Washing with soap and water removes perspiration, dirt and its accompanying odour. It helps a boy to be neat and clean. This further prevents body odour.

A deodorant is a product that gets rid of unpleasant odour. It is important teenagers especially boys and men use deodorants. An antiperspirant is a product used to stop perspiration and reduce the odour. These products can be purchased as creams, sticks, gels, roll-ons or sprays.
