What Causes Bad Body Odor In Children?
my 7 year old daughter really smells by the end of the day-i think it s from her genital area- from smelly knickers due to perhaps not wiping herself well but it permeates through her pores and I m concerned as I don t want other children to notice. She has a bath every night. Could it be just poor body hygiene or also diet or hormone related?
