Hi,
Smell from perspiration is really a distressing problem.
Some salts excreting from sweat causes this problem.
Avoid eatable like onion,Lasan etc
Take plenty of water.
Wear cotton clothes,avoid synthetic clothes,underwears.
Do not wear undergarments at night.
Take daily bath and keep private parts clean and airy.
Ok and bye.
Use branded deodorent.
