What Causes Foul Body Odor?
Question: How can I get rid of burning body odour smell please also when people pasting sifting past me.
Brief Answer:
Use clotrimazole powder
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
When you sweat a lot the substances in sweat are degraded by fungi giving rise to foul body odor. It is not a good idea to try to stop sweating (by use of antiperspirants) as sweating helps in cooling the body. Rather, applying Candid (clotrimazole) powder would help in preventing fungal degradation and therefore the foul odor.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I understand the dismal situation that you are in but have you tried the suggestion that I gave? If that helps then your problem would already be half solved. Try it.
There is no 'short cut' cure to the problem. But you can keep it in control by using the suggested method. If it does not help the next step would be to try antiperspirants.
