Body odour change

2021-05-31 04:33:57
Recently I have noticed that my body odour has changed to a smell which is not familiar to me and not pleasant either. Is there any particular reason for this change?         Also does body odour change as part of post-covid symptoms? Also what is the solution to get it rectified?

It can be bromohidrosis that can result from bacterial overgrowth. Use antiperspirant. Keep the area dry. Avoid synthetic clothes.

Body odor occurs when sweat is retained on the skin for a long time. Try to avoid occlusion dressing, which causes the sweat to remain on the skin. It is advisable to wear cotton clothes. Try to take body bath atleast 2 times daily.
