Accepted Answer

There could be two situations as you are clearly mentioning that the child used to live with deals and perfume’s of the Uncle so maybe the child used to put it on the place also likearmpit  and all which is why due to that thing it has become smelly but usually under arms of kids do not smell and it is not a sign of puberty I think it’s just generally the child has gotten into the habit of applying it and due to side-effect now the smell is like this so clean that area regularly by mixing some wheat flour into milk added applied over there leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and then wash it also you can wrap potato juice that will also help
