This could: be due to a number of medical conditions and should be evaluated by an in person visit to a Medical Professional ...it should also be noted that most of these conditions have specific TREATMENT...so act now! BE WELL! Dr Z

Several ideas: There are several possibilities. It could be your diet. Some stinky foods make stinky sweat. Garlic, herbs and spices can make your sweat smelly. Alternatively, androgens or male hormones can do this also. There is nothing to do about that. Also, bacteria can make any moist area smell bad. An antibacterial skin wash may help. Also try a different anti-perspirant or deodorant.
