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

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Some medical conditions lead to a worse than average body odor due to the actual condition itself or the side effects of the condition. Diabetes, when left untreated, can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. This secondary condition means that the body doesn't get enough insulin so it starts breaking down the fat in the body and results in the body being flooded with ketones which can lead to an increase in bad body odor.
