It comes from the bacteria in your skin. These bacteria eats the skin cells in your underarms and releases a chemical called 3-methyl 2-hexenoic acidÃÂ¢Ã¢âÂ¬ which triggers the odor.

Sweat isn't just wet â it can be kind of stinky, too. But the next time you get a whiff of yourself after running around outside and want to blame your sweat glands, hold on!

And when you reach puberty, special hormones affect the glands in your armpits â these glands make sweat that can really smell. Luckily, regular washing with soap and water can usually keep stinky sweat under control.
