How To Treat Sudden Bad Body Odor Present Since A Week?
Hello,
I think that I may have a bacterial infection. The reason that I think this is because I have been carrying a really bad smell for almost a week now and I do not know why. I would literally clean 3 times a day and the smell still remains. Is there a way that I could get rid of this smell even for a day until I meet with my doctor Thursday? Please help me.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned from where are you noticing this bad odour? Is that from any particular part of the body? If yes this might be due to some infection like fungal , bacterial.
Many a times , the problem is with our nose!!! It has some infection , maggots , sinusitis.
So , clean up your nose and see , what happens to smell.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
