ammonia smell comming from armpits

Did the smell, rash, and hazy vision happen together or has the smell been an occurrence before this? Ask him to talk to his doctor if he notices a change in body odor — it may be a sign of certain medical conditions. A fruity smell, for example, may be a sign of diabetes and an ammonia smell could indicate liver or kidney disease.

Smells like this can be neurological problems like signs before a seizure or stroke. I’m guessing he wasn’t exposed in any way which would be the obvious explanation. If he is having any other neurological symptoms-weakness or loss of sensation, change in vision, dizziness he should go to the ER. If not and this has been going on for a while he need to see his doctor. Ammonia can also be a sign of liver disease if the levels in the blood are very high. This can be ruled out with blood work and then the nose and sinuses themselves can be examined to rule out other causes.
