A member asked:

I was a heavy drinker for more than a year but quit cold turkey. now i have really bad smelling body odor should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BODY ODOUR: Body odour is dependant on chemicals in your sweat it is not going to be affedted by drinking or the quitting I am not suggesting you drink again a lot of times body odour can be managed by avoiding stong aromatic food products in our diet like garlic.
