What can I do if I have a funny smell?!
Question: I take a shower twice a day but I continue to have this funny smell. I notice people covering their nose when they come in close contact with me. I shower regularly and in desperate need to find out what is wrong with me. I have bought everything I can over the counter to stop this strong smell. It has gotten to the point that I feel uncomfortable around family and friends. I continue to ask them do they smell something and their reply is No! In addition, I also consulted with my primary doctor and she said she does not smell anything. Everywhere, I go people seem to cover their nose in disgust. Please help me! Maybe I have an infection and need to seek a specialist for stomach or skin problem. I know something is wrong and I will do everything I can to figure it out.. This situation has caused serious problems for me at work and college. HELP!

Ok, I will try to sort this out. Calm down. Please email me with what the smell reminds you of. windwalker6468@yahoo.com
Maybe change the brand of soap or body wash that you use. Even though they may smell good to you, your body chemistry with the odor of the soap may be making a different odor. Try different deoderants until you find the one that works best for you.
Perhaps your clothes are smelly. Use a good fabric softener when you wash them, regularly.
ive heard about a medicall problem like this called trimethylaminuria in which your body produces a fishy odor , google it.
it could also be your diet, try eating more fiber rich foods, always pick green and protien and water. i dont think theres a cure, but mayby it could just b you in particular, your just a little paranoid.
try using regular johnson baby powder that kills any oder
Wow. I had this problem too. No one would tell me they smelled anything but I would see people's reaction...and I'm a woman.
What did I do about it?
I started by going to the doctor. I had BV, Bacterial Vaginosis, an infection women get sometimes. Then I shaved off the hair on my body, particularly in the nether regions.
I also started to use deodorant on my panty-line as i sweat excessively down there. That really worked wonders.
I had to change my diet. Particular foods that don't nourish your body may give you a sour smell. Eat healthy.
Next, I invested in plenty of lotions and creams to make me feel good.
In the end, it's not something you can really control so roll with it if you've done all you can. I've found that women may not like my smell, but men go CRAZY over it!
You're only human... Be human. Humans have body odors. It's reality.
It could be bromhidrosis (the fancy term for B.O.). You could try looking for stronger deodorant. It may be (if you're female) vaginitis, but that's probably unlikely.
You could try covering up the smell with perfume or cologne.
Can you tell if your family and friends are lying? They may be trying not to be rude so you should make sure they are telling you the absolute truth.
