How To Remove Bad Body Odor?

I have noticed a strange sweet smell in my nasal passages and think it is coming off my body. I cannot pinpoint the source but it is ovErwhelming to me. I am not sure if it is just in my nasal passages or is emanating from my body. What would cause this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bad body odor which is because lots of hormonal changes that would occur in the body. Prolactin, FSH, LH etc are hormones that undergo variety of changes. You need to get evaluated and monitor hormone levels and any hormonal changes are causing this problem in you. Apply vitamin E oil at night and maintain proper personal hygiene . You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzoyl peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
