Sweat itself is not the reason for body odour.
Human body can produce a range of substances that carry a smell.
Many of these are necessary for our regular body functions but in small quantities.
But excessive accumulation of these compounds on the skin can cause noticeable smells.
Sweat is odorless in humans.
However rapid multiplication of bacteria and their breaking down of sweat into acids can cause unpleasant smells.
Persons who sweat more usually suffer from body odour.
Prevention of body odour can be done by regular washing. Also by shaving the excessive hair on region like armpits.
An affected person can use deodorants and anti perciperant.
