Poor hygiene: Hopefully it's nothing more than poor oral and general hygiene. See both a dentist and physician to rule out all other causes. Practice better oral and overall hygiene. Take better care of yourself or suffer the consequences over time. Good luck!

See your PCP: Diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis may produce a change in body odor, bad breath, dry mouth and whitish coat on the tongue. See your PCP for consultation, tests and treatment.
