What Causes Bad Odor From The Armpit, Neck And Navel?

I need to know what can I use to help my body build good bacteria. I have read that taking too much antibiotics could kill both bad and good bacteria and that could also lead to experiencing health problems including bad body odour as I am experiencing one especially on the armpit, neck, belly button. I have taken blood tests to prove if I am experiencing any medical condition and the results were negative. I also bath regularly.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

The armpit and neck odour is perspiration related, which has to be taken care with clothes, sandal, lavender oil application and other primary home remedies only.

The navel odour can be from any bacterial infection, which should be addressed and evaluated with your doc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
