A member asked:
How does an elderly woman control the unique body scent that she has aquired within the last year or so? she is 85.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: I highly recommend she be evaluated by a physician. She needs a full evaluation to see the source of the odor. There could be a mass that is ulcerating through the skin, a pressure sore that is becoming infected, just to name a few.
