What Causes Bad Body Odor?
I have a body odor, but I can t smell it myself. I ve been told for about 4 years about how bad it is. It started after the birth of my son 4 years ago, I believe it s because of a high level of antibiotics (Penicillin) given to me during his birth. All of my test always come back normal, and no doctor takes me seriously, they just give me ideas about different soaps to use. Any idea of what this could be, or who I should see to get real help?
