What Causes Bad Body Odor, and How Do I Get Rid of It?

OVERACTIVE SWEAT GLANDS

There are glands in the skin called sweat glands that secrete – you guessed it – sweat. Different parts of the body have different sweat glands and those different glands produce different odors. Some people have a larger amount of sweat glands on their body and some people's bodies decide that it is under attack, is too hot, or their bodies just don't have good gland control and their sweat glands work overtime producing sweat that just creates a permanent odor.
