What Causes Oiliness On Scalp And Face Along With Bad Odour?

I have always had this issue since i was a teen. I have oily skin (scalp, face, arms, shoulders, chest, legs) and for some reason it gives off an odor, it s not B.O., it s kind of an oily odor. My issue is this odor gets into everything, clothes, bed, carpet and I can t get rid of the smell. I ve used odor killers and carpet cleaners and nothing seems to work. It s embarassing when I have people over because of the smell. I even take 2 showers a day to try to get rid of the smell and a few hours later my skin is oily again and i can smell it. I don t know if anyone has the same issues I do, any advice would help.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the issue sounds to be in relation with hyper hidrosis of the sweat glands of the body.

* Usually this instance is related to hormone level imbalance and some sort of auto immune disorders conditions.

* It is best recommended to consult an immunologist for check up clinically as well as evaluation with

- sweat lab test

- hormone analysis

- other supportive reports

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
