Suggest Remedy For Sticky Sweet Body Odor

Hello Doctor, I ve been a little worried lately about this odd body odor I have and I m just seventeen. I searched the internet for any relevant problems but I couldn t find any. My body odor is sweet - like honey. Something I can t quite put into words. Its sticky sweet? It does not smell like Maple Syrup to me, but I could be wrong. I shower three to four times a day, scrub myself, give my body a nice scent but the sweet smell comes back it over powers all other smells. Its really weird. I can smell it in my clothes too. Nobody else seemed to notice this and its been going on for over a month now. A few days ago it seemed to hvve vanished but it came back. The smell is not related to sweat because sometimes when I m in an air conditioned room I smell sweet and I get worried sick. Its made me concious about myself so whenever I go to the bathroom I take a quick shower. I m developing a get rid of this sweet smell phobia. I shall be grateful if you could help me. Thank You! - Aleezeh
