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

GENETICS

Our DNA decides everything in our bodies, even how we smell. Some people will be born with overactive or too many sweat glands. There is one genetic disorder that leads to excessive body odor and it's called Bromhidrosis. This disorder is simply just an excess of foul secretions from the apocrine or eccrine glands, which creates a nearly permanent stench that comes off the skin. Both of these genetic disorders can lead to a severe impact on the mental health of the person suffering from them and can impact their everyday life and social interactions. There isn't a permanent solution to these issues but special prescription antiperspirants, special diets, and experimental treatments under the supervision and prescription of licensed professionals and specialists can help.
