Male, 16, Body Odor?!


Question: First things first, I know that a lot of people have posted similar questions but I have not found the answers within the type of answer I was looking for.
Second, this is a personal, kinda gross, and embarrassing question as most questions relating to puberty are....
I am a 16 y/o male, and contrary to the stereotypical "stinky teenage guy", I take a shower every morning before I go to school (I will not go to school w/o one, I will just be late) and I take a bath at night before I go to bed. However, I find that a strong odor will come from my butt and it is FIERCE. I do NOT want to be known for and/or caught at school with this stench. My questions are: Is it normal? (I'd prefer personal experience over some statistics) Will it fade out, or at least diminish? (I don't want the generic "body will regulate it back to normal" or "it's sweat from the Apocrine glands and it is just puberty", I would like personal knowledge, preferably from a guy who was once concerned and it went away)

Listen to me, I have the same problem.
Funnily enough, I'm also 16.
It's just a really horrible smell. It doesn't smell like sweat, but just weird.
I tried talc powder, deoderant, everything, but nothing worked.
It was really embaressing in school because everyone would laugh.
So, I went to the doc, and I told her my problem, and she gave me this cream. It hasn't really been working though.
Sorry I'm no help, but I've been waiting for it to go away, and it hasn't. the truth hurts, but thats it.
I shower every day, twice, sometimes 3 times, but the smell just keeps coming back, especially when I sit down.

You should take 2 or more showers a day. Don't ever put on the same clothing you had on before you got in the shower. The bacteria causing the odor will just reactivate. Make sure you wash your hair too (oily hair can cause odor too). Also, keep your bedding (sheets, etc) laundered frequently (weekly for sure). Also, make sure your pillow is not discoloured (odors). Wash or replace. There are many food items that add to body odor (google that). Use an anti-perspirant with odor blocker. Apply often.

You may want to go to the Doc...
