Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
First, there are many different causes of body odour.
These include dietary components. So make sure you don't have a diet with any such Component eg garlic.
Second possibility is excessive sweating . sweat is one of the mechanism for waste excretion. so it may smell bad. Take plenty of fluids.
Third sweat gland infection can cause bad odour. Washing cleanly and correctly is the best solution.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
