Hygiene issues/problems
in Health ·
Hey.
I'm 16 and struggling with hygiene issues. I follow a standard routine, but there's still stuff going on:
- Constant underarm odor: Even right after stepping out of the shower, the smell is there. No matter how much cologne or whatever I use, it doesn't help.
- Bad breath: I brush daily, use Listerine, a Colgate mouth spray, and chew peppermint gum constantly. Still happens.
- Dirt under my nails: This is probably my biggest issue. Just a few hours after showering, I see dirt under my nails again. I wash my hands and scrub them with a brush, but within a couple of hours, they're dirty again.
I don't think it's just puberty since this has been happening for years. I thought if I stepped up my hygiene, it would stop... but maybe not.
Thanks.
