How To Stop Foul Odor From Body?

For many months I've been noticing that my pajamas when I wake up in the morning and clothes at the end of the day smells strange like car exhaust. Even if I haven't left the house been around cars, been outside etc. Especially every morning when I wake up its strong, its like its oozing out of my pores. But when I smell my skin I don't smell it. I've had other people smell my shirts after wearing them and they smell it too. My clothes don't smell like this when I put them on. I do not and have not had sinus problems of any kind nor and excessive bad breath. What could this be?? Thanks

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Each person has his/her own body odor which is characteristic for that person.

When the body is having an usual odor, then, there are various factors causing it:
- spices you eat
- increase sweating
- foods/drinks you consume
- any medication you take on regular basis

I advise to:
- avoid garlic or other foods that would give a foul odor to your body
- keep good hygiene of your skin
- use body antiperspirant deodorants
- if sweating, try to have frequent baths

Hope it was of help!
