Body odour

Question

Body odour

Asked for Male, 39 Years

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
