What Causes Foul Smelling Sweats?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I am a 37 year old female. African American/caucasian decent. And for the last several years I have had severe night sweats. Last night, my sweat smelled like dust. I ve never had that happen before and I was wondering if that might be a problem. I looked up night sweats, and it seems as if it could be something really bad, or nothing at all. So I ve been going with, It s nothing . But the change in smell concerns me a little. What do you think?

HI
Well come to HCM
Such foul smell in sweat particularly in female may be some time happens due to hormonal changes but this comes around on its own you can use good quality of deodorant and take bath prior to bed, drink more water have a fresh citrus juice, hope this helps.
