Have you ever noticed an unpleasant smell coming from your body, especially after sweating? That’s body odour, a common issue for many people. Body odour occurs when sweat, particularly from areas like the armpits, groin, and nipples (produced by the apocrine glands), interacts with bacteria on the skin. Although sweat itself is odourless, it’s this bacterial interaction that creates the distinctive smell.
