Suggest Remedies For Persistent Body Odor

Hi, I have never had bad body odor before. About 3 months ago, i started washes out of my sink instead of taking showers. (circumstances withheld lol.) I noticed i started to smell more, i guess because i was really just surface washes as opposed to a deep clean. So I would cover my entire body with deodorants until after a while i got this horrible stench i couldn t get rid of. So I started taking showers again. For the first couple days i was okay, then all of a sudden it got weird. i would smell good at the beginning of the day but when i started working i would get a bad odor which I can t smell but co- workers can. It sucks because the only way i know I smell is when people look at me funny, which by then its too late. I thought once i started showering again the surprise odor would go away. Now its like I get to work and I m just counting the time before i get dirty looks. Please help me. I can t go on like this.

Hello,

Foul body odor may be due to bacteria contents of sweat that leads to altered smell. Daily two times bathing with use of anti-perspirant will be useful. Please consult your dermatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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