What Could Excess Body Odor Suggest?
I dont know where a smell is coming from. When I am going out and for example im on the bus, I see people look over in my direction and look at me strangely; they also cover their noses and sometimes people that are bold enough shout out that it stinks. This kind of reaction only comes when I am there. Im 15 years old and i think its something to do with puberty but I henuinely dont know. Btw I wash everyday, brush my teeth daily, i use body spray and ocasionally wear perfume. What can I do?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to speak to your family and friends first to determine if there is an odor.
If there is, it may not be related to your body but maybe your clothes or something that you have on you at the time especially if you have appropriate hygiene habits.
If you sweat a lot you may need to use an underarm deodorant that has a lasting effect or have it with you to re apply during the course of the day.
I hope this helps
