Get baking powder and mix it in with your fav body wash. My dad works for Edison and smells bad becuz of the hours he works, and believe me, a shower is not enough. Baking soda has something that helps him alot and he mixes it with his zes body wash.

You may have the genetic condition called Trimethylaminuria, or "TMAU" for short. There is a lot of information online about this disease - just enter "TMAU" or "trimethylaminuria" into an Internet search engine. TMAU can cause horrible body odors (and horrible bad breath) in persons who have this disease. The only symptom of TMAU is the odor, and people with TMAU are otherwise healthy. The body odor is not caused by a lack of personal hygiene. In fact, a person with TMAU can smell horribly 10 minutes after they shower. The odor can resemble that of rotting fish, urine, feces, or garbage. People affected by TMAU can also have a musty smell.

The strength of the odor caused by TMAU varies from person to person, and may also vary over time. Some people with TMAU may only have a faint odor, while others with TMAU may have a very strong odor. A person with TMAU may smell strongly on some days, and not as strongly on other days. Sometimes the odor can be so strong that it can permeate an entire room in a matter of minutes. For women, the odor typically gets worse around their periods. Stress can cause an increase in the odor.

As I said, the odor is not affected by personal hygiene. The TMAU odor is caused because the person's liver does not produce an enzyme that is necessary to break down a nutrient - the nutrient choline - that is found in almost all foods. The liver of a person with TMAU can only break down choline into a very smelly state; people without TMAU can break down choline all the way, so it doesn't smell anymore.

There is currently no cure for TMAU. People with TMAU may not be able to smell themselves, because they have been living with the odor their entire life.

You can talk to your doctor if you tend to sweat in certain areas of your body and you feel like its not normal. The doctor can then prescribe you a rub-on liquid deodorant that smells a lot like alcohol, but has chemicals within it that help the sweat glands not to overact, and also kills the bacteria that causes smell. I used to sweat profusely under my arms when I was a pre-teen and when I went to my doctor, they gave that medicine to me. It starts with an X, but Im not completely sure of the name.
