Brief Answer:
stop doing meth; also follow as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

Meth or methamphetamine users frequently complain of ammonia like or rotten body odour which is due formation or deposition of chemicals over skin in reaction with meth.
The definitive treatment will obviously be stop doing meth. I would also suggest the following in people presenting with such symptoms-

Maintaining general body hygiene.
Washing regularly with antibacterial soaps like dettol, savlon etc. Putting more care over parts like groin axilla etc.
Drinking plenty of fluids and take fresh fruits and vegetables. It refreshes skin and resists bad odour formation.
Using deodorants.

Hope this was helpful.
Regards.
