Suggest Treatment For Boils And Foul Smell In Groin Area

Hello I am 40 years old and over weight when I sweat my nether regions get very smelly ( not my vagina)it smells like cat pee I get a lot of boils in this area as well. I can not seem to get the smell out of my shorts so when I start sweating it smells extra bad. What can I do about this? Should I see the doctor or is there something I can get at the drug store to help me out?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

First of all, as you experience excessive sweating it is important for you to take extra care when it comes to personal hygiene. Possibly two showers a day, once in the morning before you head out and another once you get home or just before bed time, or some time mid-day (if possible of course).

The next thing, excessive bad odour can also be a sign of an infection and this will of course have to be ruled out with the help of a physical examination, urine analysis, etc. Please consult your doctor regarding the same.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
