What Causes Foul Smelling Sweat In The Groin Area After Kidney Transplant?

I am a 65 yr oil woman who has had a kidney transplant and since I have noticed that I sweat on each side of my thighs on each side of my private area. My doctors say it is not from the transplant or meds. I has a very foul smell. Do you what causes this?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
This is due to sweating. This is normal and everyone sweats. This is not due to transplantation or medicines.
Advice
1.     Avoid strenuous activity
2.     Keep your groin area clean and dry
3.     Apply ketoconazole dusting powder
4.     Take high protein diet such as eggs and cheese to boost immunity
5.     Do not take much mental stress as any kind of mental stress also causes excessive sweating
6.     Bath two times daily with good quality soap
7.     For body smell, use over the counter deodorant after taking bath
Thanks
