Thanks for posting your query to health care magic .
Sweating between leg is a common phenomenon as this is a normal physiological process of body. why are you worried about that .
odour of sweat is different for every individual and it depends upon your metabolic activity . the only point of concern is thick and milky sweat ,but if it is not causing any problem no need to worry or you can consult to a General Medicine physician for that . I donot think any kind of infection in this condition so donot recommend any microbiological tesing .further I donot recommend use of medicated powder routinely as it disturb your commensal flora , so use such kind of powder only when infection is there or chances of infections are high .
thank you .feel free if any query .
