Hey I am a guy that is 16 and for some reason my friends tell me I smell like fish. I don't smell it but everyone around me does.

I am a clean person takes a bath everyday 1-2 times a day
Wears deodarant and body spray.
And I rarely eat fish less than once a month.

So what can make me smell that way I've had that smell my whole
life and it is really bugging me now. Because people make fun of me and tell me to take a bath and call me dirty even though I am probably much cleaner than them.
For now what I am doing is spraying tons of axe to cover it up
and it seems to be working but eventually it wears off.
I'm sick of being called smelly kid.
H=please help me

Go to your local health food store & buy a supplement called "Chlorophyll". Take 1 serving per day. It will remove bad breath, body odor, foot odor or any other unpleasant smell from the body. It's also very healing & nutritional for the human body. You'll notice a difference within a few days.

You know what you should try is sweating it out what you need to do is do an activity that will make you seat vigorously. make sure you keep drinking water as to not dehyderate. Doing this may purge your sweat glands(which maybe where the smell is coming from) do this a couple of timesa week for a month. That should help and it may verywell last a long time (or may never come back at all). But the key is to drink a lot of water so you sweat alot.

If it something that you have had your entire life you may want to think about seeing your doctor. You could have some type of deficiancy or condition. I wouldn't say that it is in infection of any sort. I wouldn't even say it has anything to do with your crotch if you again saying you have had it your entire life. However, if it is something that you recently became aware of it could infact be that you are going through puberty and your body is producing crazy amounts of hormones which there is not much you can do. You may want to watch the types of foods you consume in the meantime and be sure to drink plenty of water to flush out your system. However none of these are cures, you really need to speak to a doctor about this and they can refer you to a specialist and good luck to you!

You might want to try getting a heatlh professional to help you pin-point exactly where the mysterious oder is coming from. There's nothing you can do about it until you find out where it's coming from.

Bathing everyday only does so much to prevent B.O. We need to wear fresh clothes everyday too, especially t-shirt, underwear, and socks.

Talk to someone you trust and can confide in and ask if they have any suggestions or see a health professional, like a school nurse.

Hey ...you have done everything anybody can tell you to do . There is only one thing to check and that's your hormone levels. hormones act differently in every person. It might be worth the shot to go to a regular doctor, do a regular check up , and bring up the issue of the fish smell when you are there.... don't use deodorant over your body so the doctor believes you...
check this condition too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethylaminuria
I have never heard that before.

It's the water you have been bathing in. Fish have invaded your water tank.

Dude every man's dream is making ones fingers smell like fish! Your friends are all wondering where you have been sticking them so have another shower, wash your hair, use some soap then go and see your doctor and ask if you still smell like fish.

try showering rather than taking a bath...in many ways, when you take a bath, you are sitting in a tub of water you used to rinse the dirt off of you...you are cleaning yourself in dirty water...your 16, start taking showers...also, if you have a lot of pubic hair, try trimmin it because a "fishy" smell is often associated with the crotch area and that could be the source of your problem....or wear a stronger deodorant....spraying a ton of AXE makes you smell like chemicals and could make it worse by irritating or clogging your pores and glands

Trimethylaminuria
Seriously its a medical condition read all about it search on google.
Whatever you do dont try to sweat it out as that is where the smell comes from. Along with breath and other things. Just look it up. It is treatable.

I hope all goes well for you.

Drink water - lots of it. Your odor is toxins in your body. Drink 2 big glasses of water 15 minutes before breakfast, lunch and supper and bedtime! Make sure it is water, not pop or juice. Most people don't drink nearly enough water in the day.
My sister in law had this problem (I couldnt even stand to be near her) and now it is completely gone!
Good luck

there is nothing wrong with your body, someone in your household must cook alot of fish and the scent stays on your clothes. happens alot. my best friend smelt like fish and I knew it wasnt her, her mother loves to cook fish and thats what happend. shut the door when someone is cooking so the food doesnt get on your clothes
