Need advice regarding body odor fungal infection

Posted By Nadir (Kannur, Kerala, India) on 04/22/2011

i have a serious problem. I am losing condifence and my life is going in a bad direction. Thing is I have serious body odour issue. I sweat a lot. Problem is I was not careful with cleanliness when I was a kid. Even though I bath twice daily now I still have problem. I think problem is fungal infection. Near my groin area. Even though I bath and put on new clothes after say 1-2 hour I feel restless and unclean. When I wake up after sleep I can feel the odour. Feel like fungal infection. I could see some white patch like thing near my groin area when I wake up... Before I could see some yellow kinda covering in the pubic hair in the scrotum. But nowadays I clean my body well using some bath scrub. Still I feel restless and itchy after an hour however well I hav taken the bath. As this problem have been there for pretty long time I think the infection is kinda there all over my body since I use the same towel after bath to wipe out. I am kinda ashamed to go to a doctor and explain these in person. I went once but I couldnt say the whole problem. so please help me out with problem.

I used to have athletes' foot but I always found it went away with a seaside holiday. Something about getting the sun, air and salt water on your body got rid of it until the winter when the old infected shoes went back on and it came back.

Hi there,

I too have suffered with a body odour for 5 yrs only mine has been a fecal body odour and I know of all the embarrassment u speak of! I like u, have tried everything to get rid of it! You may have something called TMAU! You should get tested for it! Also look into being tested for Lactose/Sugar Problems, Heavy Metals, IBS, etc, etc. Some people have suggested some good ideas on here for body odour! I would suggest looking into buying the Lye Soap and Neem Soap and see if it helps ya! I know when I get some money, that's what I'm doing! Lol. Anyways, I really do hope u can get your life back, as I totally understand how debilitating this condition can be!! You take care.
