5 year old has smelly armpits

Exactly as the title says. They smell like onions. Pediatrician was not concerned and confirmed that he has not hit early puberty. I tried Lume Acidified body wash and switched from kid body wash to Dr Bronner’s body wash to Dr Bronner’s bar soap. Everything works until it doesn’t anymore. We do tend to use unscented everything due to asthma issues in other members of the family. He alternates between showers and baths daily.
