What Causes Foul Body Odour?
Work as a letter carrier. Days are long walking on route, sweat a lot, especially during the summer. Sweat smell not noticeable to me, but others react. My clothes smell like a burning sweaty smell, as if I was in the park all day. No one says anything, but I see the reaction. Can t understand what is causing this, any ideas?

Hello,
It might be excessive sweat production and the odor of the sweat varies from person to person. You can use a good quality deodorant to tackle this problem. Consult a dermatologist for expert evaluation.
