Body odor is actually caused by bacteria on the skin. Sweat doesn't smell bacteria does. Wash under arms with a benzoyl peroxide soap. You might also have hyperhydrosis which is over active sweat glands caused by an over active nervous system. Try active DRI and if that doesn't work have a Doctor prescribe drysol.

Yikes! How embarrassing.
Shower every day in the morning if you don't already do so. (Getting up early is annoying, but a shower helps wake you up anyway.)
Get a deodorant antiperspirant. Use it in the morning, after you shower. If you have PE at school, re-apply.
It could have something to do with your diet. If you eat tons of garlic or spicy food, it comes out in your sweat.
If you still are stinky, go to the doctor. It could be that you have something wacky with your metabolism.

Shower several times a day. Get a 24 hour deodorant. Good luck!

Wash w/ an ANTIBIOTIC soap, such as dial. Try different deodorants. Also, make sure you are getting enough zinc (maybe take a zinc supplement) and make sure your shirts are made out of cotton. Good luck!

Change your diet , you may have an infection . meds could be causing it ...
Pork can cause a strange nasty odour.
I was on some meds that caused an odour . I like garlic and onions and they also cause an odour.
