Very bad body oudor. Shower or not
I am 26 and have been suffering from this problen since childhood.
My body gives out a very bad smelling oudor. At times its worst than other. There is no difference when I shower. Sometimes it seems the shower makes it worse. I have tried to shower twice a day and different types of soap But nothing helped. Can you please help me with this problem it's ruining my entire life.
Yes other people notice it instantly when I enter a room. My supervisor called me after a meeting and told me my colleges are complaining about the smell when I am around. I also has been confronted in the ques of compartment stores and cafe's.

Mia, it sounds like you might have a metabolic disorder/enzyme deficiency that prevents you from breaking down certain substances that then heap up in the sweat/skin. I can’t tell you which one it is without being able to examine you first, so the best would be to see a specialist physician and have it sorted out. Good luck.
