Hi. These are the following things that you could do:
1. Maintain good personal hygiene - have bath daily, twice daily if u feel u sweat a lot, use a good soap and also use a deodrant.
2. The odour could be - due to secretion of certain oily secretions (sebum) apart from sweat and this is acted upon by microorganisms that gives bad odour.
3. use benzoyl peroxide based washes - a few times a week.
4. avoid repeating clothes without washing.
5. Drink lots a water - atleast 2-2.5 litres per day. Hope these measures help. If not see a dermatologist near you.
Warm regards,
Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENt Centre, Bengaluru.
