What Causes Horrible Odor In Body?

Hi. I am concerned about a brother of mine who returned from living in Arizona for a number of years. He has a horrible odor and uses water and bleach to control this odor. He says that someone told him what to do. This seems abnormal. Could you please tell me what his condition is that would cause such a thing? anita

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

According to your complain you have problem of horrible body odour that may be because of hyperhidrosis in which more amount of salt in sweating occurs.

Some hyperthyroidism condition overactive gland may cause over sweating problem. .
Diabetes can ruled out.

Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
Proper history and physical examination give exact idea.
