Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Bad body odor is usually due to fungal infection.

I suggest you to apply anti-fungal powder like KETO dusting powder.twice daily after a good bath. Also keep the skin folds and feet dry all the time.

Do not take cold shower.

Please let me know if you have any other doubts.

Wish you good health.
