Hi
Bad smell from the skin folds can occur due to change in the normal skin flora with colonisation by other harmful organisms.
You need to wash the affected area with lotions which are antiseptic or with antiseptic soaps
Apply a topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin over the affected area twice daily.
This will remove the abnormal organisms and return the skin flora to normal and thereby prevent bad smell
