My right breasts produces more milk and hence more easily blocked sometimes my armpit have lumps. I am not sure is because of the lumps I feel my right side armpit has a stronger odour. what can I do to reduce it? I bathe twice a day and put on deodorant but i can smell myself... not that anyone complain. Is this normal? I did not get this with my first n 2nd pregnancy.

The lumps could be caused due to ingrown hair. My friend had this problem not too long ago. She used to wax her armpits but stopped and switched to shaving when she got pregnant.
