Smelly Chest, Especially During Summer. Solution?
I am having issue with a smell coming from my chest. I have good hygiene and have tried all different body wash and soaps and nothing helps. It occurs in the summer months and better in winter. It is coming from my pores therefore thinking it is internal. Just wondering what I can do. I have been to the doctor and she thinks it is me just smelling it and that no one can smell it, but can tell my co-workers can smell it too.

Hi smelly chest especially in summer months indicates it is due to excessive sweating.it is also called as bromohydrosis..main etiopathogenesis is fungal infection which causes smell .use flucanozole 150 mg weekly once for 6 weeks and sprinkle the absorb dusting powder after bath daily can absorb sweat and smell decreases
