Brief Answer:
Regarding body odor

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Body odor is due to bacterial degradation of sweat secreted by apocrine glands. Underarms and public region are rich in apocrine glands. You may practice certain measures that would help you with your concern like use an antibacterial soap for bath, shave or trim underarm/ pubic region and use an antiperspirant like a deodorant or a roll on, sweat pads.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
