Medical Conditions - Body Odor

Body odor is an odor caused by a combination of sweat and bacteria present on the skin. It occurs when bacteria on the skin break the protein molecules present in the sweat. Body odor is controlled by using antiperspirants and deodorants, changing and washing clothes regularly, and washing armpits, groin, and feet with soap twice a day.
