Some people are just smellier than others. What to do about that...


Are you extra smelly? If so, your genes may be to blame. 

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that can cause extreme odor in some people - and it’s usually genetic. If you shower every day and still experience excessive perspiration and odor, there are some steps you can take to get it under control. Dermatologist William P. Coleman suggests bathing twice a day using deodorant soap, paying extra attention to areas where you sweat. You’ll also need to apply an antiperspirant deodorant twice.

If doubling up on your hygiene doesn’t help, see your dermatologist. Your medical insurance may cover treatments for hyperhidrosis, which range from prescription deodorant to botox injections or liposuction for severe cases.
