Its a condition called Bromhidrosis which is foul-smelling body odor. Its related to your sweat. Perspiration itself actually has no odor. Armpits produce sweat high in protein. When bacteria present on your skin breaks down this sweat into acids, it results in an unpleasant smell which is the body odor.
Health Tips
Use medicated antiperspirants. in the for,m of powder. Contact ur Dermatologist for further reference
