Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bad body odor which is because lots of hormonal changes that would occur in the body. Prolactin, FSH, LH etc are hormones that undergo variety of changes or sweat gland or apocrine glands. You need to get evaluated and monitor hormone levels and any hormonal changes are causing this problem in you. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. If bad odor still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe deodorants antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride. Also maintain personal hygiene. Sometimes bad odor occur due to apocrine glands . Doctor may also prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infectiion which can also cause bad odor . For now maintain personal hygiene .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
