Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),
I am not sure what you mean by a "bad smell".
Everyone has a smell to their body. When we sweat, unless you have a disease process going on, the sweat is sterile. This is because the pores of our skin, and the capillary beds are microscopic enough to filter out an germs or bacteria. We smell from sweat, because sweat mixes with germs and fungus on the surface of the skin, or it is mixed with sex hormones. You stated that you are bathing twice a day.
I suggest that you DON'T bath twice a day. This will wash away the natural disease protections your body has. Occasional twice a day washings or one wash and a rinse, will not necessarily do damage. But two full bathings will, over time cause you to damage your skin.
There are some other things that can cause a foul smell from your body.
Howe is your diet?
Some vegetarians will develop a strong smell, as will people who eat a lot of eggs and other foods or medicines with choline. Too much protein or infection from a microbe called helicobacter can cause our body to smell like ammonia. Still your body may smell like fish from eating choline supplements. You can also smell like fish from a heredity disorder called: trimethlyaminuria.
Other conditions and diseases that can cause a foul body odor are:
- skin infection
- Liver disease
- diabetes
- Kidney disease
- fungal infections
- too much refined sugar
- Parasites
- metabolic disease other than diabetes
- Zinc or magnesium deficiencies
- stress from anger, fear, and excitement.
Please stop taking two baths every day, and schedule an appointment with a physician to rule out deficiencies, metabolic disease, and skin infection. Also, check your diet.
