Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

Body odour or bromhidrosis may be due to heavy sweating and superadded infection. Or may be due to medication or certain food.

I advice you to bath twice daily with antibacterial soap.
Wear cotton dress (must), drink lemon juice or melon juice daily.
Avoid spicy food.
Use antiperspirants/deodorants of your choice.

I advice you to take a test to rule out hyperthyroidism- thyroid profile (blood test)

Don't worry, Consult a dermatologist in person with test reports for further management.

Regards.
