Body odour

2021-01-09 14:18:32
Are there any medicines to reduce body odour. My sweat levels are average not too much sweat nor very less but the body odour is on higher side. If I apply a perfume or deo in summers then it starts stinking because of sweat. Whereas some people from a distance also their perfume/deo fragrance attract us. Why is this caused & are there medicines to cure this? Can you recommend any good deo that can reduce sweat
