How do you keep an odor away from your private area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check for infection: Washing the skin around the genital area with mild soap and water should be all that's needed to prevent odor. Odor that is detected despite good hygiene may signal infection. Your health care provider can evaluate you for infection and prescribe appropriate treatment.
