Vinegar swell: Most likely it i just your sweat. A light sweat can have sort of a vinegary, mild acid odor. After the time it gets stringer, starts smelly fishy, then gets really foul. Make sure you wipe you sweat off after all exercise. Some people just sweat at night (colds, medications, certain diseases, over-bundled). Wipe it off, use a deodorizer, and see if it comes back. It does not sound like a disease.

Sweat smells vinegar: I understand your concern. “sweat smells like vinegar” is not serious. Make a note of following foods if they cause sweat smelling like vinegar: • Asparagus • Cabbage • Garlic • Onions • Red meat • Yogurt Then see your family physician for Diagnosis including Hormonal changes and Diabetes followed by Treatment.
