Hi.
As per your case history of bad odour, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid taking spicy foods and excessive salty diet.
2. Use a potassium permanganate powder in water in dilution of 1 :10000 for bathing.
3. Use a glycerine soap like dove or pears for regular use.
4. Use an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on full body.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
