Body odour, just like mouth odour, is an unpleasant thing that anybody can grapple with. Medically referred to as bromhidrosis, experts say body odour occurs when the bacteria on the skin’s surface breaks down sweat into acid, releasing malodorous chemical compounds in the process.
They note that the most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas. Consequently, they aver, body odour is most likely to occur in those parts of the body and on the rest of the skin in extreme cases.
