Answered by Dr. Elver Martinez

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the response to your query below:

You may experience unusual body odor due to hormonal changes, diet, stress, or hygiene practices. It’s essential to maintain good personal hygiene by showering regularly, using deodorant, and wearing clean clothes. Additionally, be mindful of your diet, as certain foods can affect body odor.

Body odor can vary significantly from person to person and may sometimes be linked to medical conditions. If the odor persists or if you have concerns, consider speaking to a doctor to rule out any underlying causes. Remember that every body is unique and may require different care to stay fresh and healthy.

Thanks
