Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. I am having some bad smells coming from around my body but I cant identify which body parts might be producing these smells. People are touching their noses wherever I go and it s now giving me a lot of stress because the smell has increased in intensity. I m feeling greatly tempted to commit suicide and these thoughts come to me everyday. I have tried to use some chemicals from phamarcies to reduce the smell but they are not working. I have seen doctors and they didn t find any infection on me, they gave me medication but it didn t work either. The problem has been there for 4 months now. Please help me with any advice on how I can address my problem. Thank you
As per your query you have unpleasant odour from body . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hormonal changes , skin infection , side effects of certain medication or poor hygiene . I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene , apply antiperspirant after bathing . If condition persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination .

You could also apply 1% Fusidic acid cream twice a day on your armpits and around the groin area and also maintain personal hygiene . Also do light exercises daily and drink plenty of water .
