A member asked:
My friend is on levothyroxine. since starting it 3 years ago i have noticed a repellent odour from his skin which is present even after showering. wha?

Sweating: There can be other causes of skin odour. If he is taking levothyroxine more than required, it may cause more sweating and that can cause odour.
