Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the irrelevant body odor after taking precise care of body hygiene is not normal and one has to get it evaluated thoroughly.

* Various possible reasons have to be sorted out as

- hyperhidrosis
- intake of certain food stuffs
- hormone changes as sex hormones
- intake of steroids
- cystic fibrosis counterpart
- skin infections as trichomonas or fungal lesions
- metabolic problems of urea, amino acid metabolism pathways
- diabetes or other endocrinopathies

* Kindly approach your primary care for best possible evaluation on clinical grounds and get necessary evaluations of sweat test and other supportive lab data.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
