Body Odor at 8 Years Old??!!

Help! My daughter is 8 1/2 and her one armpit has started smelling with definite BO. I didn't hit puberty until late, 13-14. Is it possible she has begun or can you have stinky pits without the rest of development happening for years? Obviously we are washing with soap everyday now. She started showering by herself 6 months ago so she may have been missing spots I didn't realize. I don't know if we should start on deodorant, it seems way too soon. She hasn't started developing in other ways but with me it all happened...
