What Could Cause Sudden Foul Odor From The Sides Of The Body Towards The Abdomen?
Just in the past few days my husband has been experiencing a foul odor coming from the trunk of his body. He has never had this before. He is 67 and is healthy, squeaky clean and always smells so good up until now. What could this be? The area is well below his arm pits and seems to be focused on his sides toward his tummy. He is not overweight.

Hello
he might have developed corynebacteria infection.
It produces foul smell.
Ask him to apply fusidic acid cream and an antibacterial powder.
He will recover.
Meet a dermatologist, if it persists.
