Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
Bad odor in sweat usually occurs in individuals taking too much of onions and garlic in food or due to presence of bacteria.
I would recommend you to use an antibacterial soap like triclosan soap ( Klm Klin soap) for regular use, apply topical antibiotic like fusidic acid cream ( fucidin cream ) on the axilla and groins twice daily and use anti fungal dusting powder like abzorb dusting powder 2-3 times daily.
This will reduce the odor in your sweat.
