Body Odor (Bromhidrosis)


(Malta)

I think I may have bromhidrosis, or excessive body odor occurring in my under arms. I am wondering what I can do to stop odor.

My problem started when I was 16. I'm 23 now. It was regular and chronic, even after I would shower, so its not a hygiene issue. And I wear my clothes only once, then I wash them. I scrub under my arms and have used almost every deodorant and antiperspirant available. (The ones you can find in the supermarket, anyway.)

I'm shy and have low self-esteem and I also blush. I'm particularly tense in social situations and perspire even on my hands and feet. However it's not the amount of sweat that bothers me but the smell. I mean, I wash and after an hour I smell and none of my friends or boyfriend have this problem.

Can u please help me with my body odor (bromhidrosis)?
