You don't say where the smell is from.
if its underarm or feet you could try "dryclor" roll on deodorant. You put it on at night and wash it off in the morning, then use a normal deodorant during the day. After about 5 days you will stop sweating. You do have to use it a few times a week to maintain the effects.
Diet also plays a great part in how we smell. Do you eat a lot of aromatic foods? Garlic is a bad offender,we used to give it to our horses as a supplement to keep the flies away!

stop worrying for starters, everybody smells it is just some of us are more worried about it than others. Try and stick to one product. I personally recommend Sure roll on. When you put it on allow it time to dry, even if it means standing with your arms up for a few minutes. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes. Tight figure hugging clothes might look attractive but if this odour is causing you so much concern take my advice. Only wear cotton underwear and don't bath so much. Have you considered seeking advice just incase you may have a compulsive disorder, just something to consider. Hope everything works out for you. Ignore any sarcasm, like my parents always said you may have a problem, but not everyone was born as beautiful as you are!

If the smell is cheesy try cutting right back on cheese and dairy for a month and see if that helps. You could also ask your gp to see if you have thrush, treatment is available over the counter from the chemist.
I don't think your gp has been very helpful, a lot of people have this problem and its embarassing. You've tried the roll on but it hasn't worked, try to get a referral to a specialist.

You need to cut out junk food from your diet.
Drink plenty of water to wash out the toxins in your body.

There must be something that you are eating that is having an effect on your body odour.

Shave your armpits. Never wear the same clothes without washing them. Dove antiperspirant is quite good, imperial leather soap is good for a nice smell.

antibacterial and antiseptic solution called chlorhexidine 0.05% solution is available over the counter at pharmacies. This is applied daily and significantly reduces the number of bacteria.

It must be down to diet. Try a change .. to fresh fruit, plenty of water, cut out spicey stuff.

There also may be a medical problem, which doctors aren't too keen to investigate because it will mean lots of tests , blood etc etc.

Look at your diet , try and identify anything that might be a problem, do you suffer from stress ?

If you're still not happy , back to the docs and ask to see a specialist.

If its an underarm smell then try a deodorant called MITCHUM. You can buy it from supermarkets and Boots, it comes in a roll on, spray or a stick. Its really good for keeping you fresh in hot conditions and I only use it just in case. They even say its so effective you could miss a day of using it! It comes in different fragrances for both men and women. Good luck x

Change what you eat. A lot of time your body odor reflect what you eat, like garlic, onion, meat etc. Go on a fruit-fish-vegi diet or something like that for about a week, the smell should go away, then go back to your diet item by item.

Keep Smilin'

Try anti-bacterial soaps, anti dandruff shampoo - whether you have dandruff or not. Change you diet. Make sure you're not over weight or smoke. None of that works - then get a referral to a hospital, you have a medical problem.

I did actually see a programme on tv about a woman who was smelly. It is a recognised problem. Don't worry you're not alone, but you'll have to search it out on google, because I can't remeber the name of the problem. And sadly there wasn't a "cure".

I hope no-one is nasty to you in these answers.
