Answers:
Most likely, yes!.

I understand exactly what you are going through!. There are a few other things you can do to help with the "musty" smell!.

Shave the hair under your arm pits!. This will allow you to better clean them to get rid of the bacteria that are making the smell!.
Wear an undershirt that way if you get hot or start smelling it you can take it off!.
This one might not apply to you, but if you make an effort to really scrub your inner thighs you might also notice less smell!.

I've been fighting a battle of my own on this front for a few years now!. It's not like I have bad hygiene, but I just have a strong natural odor!. To add to the problem my skin breaks out into painful rashes when I use anti-perspirant or too strong a deodorant!. I switched to an organic deodorant with some decent success, although it certain situations my smell can render it ineffective!.
It is an embarassing problem to have because the first thing people think when they smell you is that you have bad hygiene!. I used to work in a baby store and pregnant women (with their hightened sense of smell) noticed it on me all the time!. I was approached my managers all the time saying someone was complaining about my odor!. It is embarassing when your boss asks you if you took a shower that day or not!. I always thought I had good hygiene!. During the summer time I might shower 3-4 times a day and change my clothes regularly, but it seemed that about 20-30 minutes later I could smell myself!.
Shaving my armpits helped quite a bit, and it doesn't have to be a permanent thing either!. Just do it for about a month, and it will make a huge difference!. An undershirt does help too, but I don't like this because I sweat profusely and extra shirts in Texas heat seems to offset its effect!.
Most people that have this sort of problem are big people!. Not necessarily fat but just big!.
It is sad that today it is somehow wrong to not smell like sweet flower all day, but I guess that is just the way it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may, but you may also have a glandular problem as well!. I can't see why skin should smell musty!. Are you sure it's not your clothes!? If you don't dry them quickly enough after washing, they can smell musty!. If it is your body, you may want to see a dermatologist!.

P!.S!.- In general, antibacterial soap is unnecessary to cleanse the skin!. Try switching to more breathable clothing (natural fabrics like cotton) and showering twice a day!.

Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Do you drink alcohol!? Because my ex husband drank beer all the time and he smelled that way!. It exudes from your pores!. Go to the pharmacy and ask if they have any chlorophyll tablets!. Those things work! They will neutralize any odors you have from the inside out!. :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to see a doctor!. Your insides may be out of balance!. Either that or go to a health food/ natural remedy store and tell them whasts up!. They will get you on the right track!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Antibacterial could aid a little, but over-use of it could cause other problems (Dry & cracked skin)!. Try an Antiperspirant and odor killing sprays!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Where is the odor coming from!. What body part seems to be more smelly than others!. Change of diet!. etc!.

Also consider asking your doctor, as some smells can be an indication of various conditions!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can be because of the food you eat too!.
Loads of garlic for instance or other strong smelling foods:like curries:through your pores that smell leaves your body,

Have you tried just using a plain soap!.!.!? Like Ivory!?
Maybe the scents from the soaps you're using are clashing with your body odour!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

nope, the smell is from a fungus!. believe it or not, athletes foot spray will work to defeat odor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
