Question 3

how do i stop sweating odor?

Accepted Answer

It's the bacteria: The offensive odor associated with sweating is caused by residual bacteria left on the skin.Your best strategies  are showering at least once daily with antibacterial soap, toweling off thoroughly (bacteria have harder time multiplying on dry skin) with a clean towel, and using a strong antiperspirant containing aluminum hydroxide. Only wear clean clothes including socks; maybe fewer onions/garlic
