14 year old male
Hey there...
Every day when I sit down to class, even if I havnt been doing any physical activities or it's is cold, I start to sweat quite alot. Now, I use anti-perspirant under my arms so I dont get sweat there, but my hands sweat alot and so does in between my thighs and arse cheeks. This sweat smells quite bad, not like normal BO smells, almost a poo smell. I'm not fat, I wipe my bottom, and these problems have only started this year. I also tried to use anti-perspirant between my legs and on my bottom.
Any suggestions such as eating habit changes? Or when/IF this will stop?
Thank you

It is essential you talked to your parents about this and saw a doctor to check if there's an underlying medical condition going on.
Places where you sweat the most are placing with the most sweat glands in the whole body. They are palms and soles of the feet, underarms, groins, etc
Groins and underarms also contain apocrine gland that makes sweat with fatty chemicals in it. If the skin bacteria interferes with the sweat, it could break down the chemicals and cause not so pleasant body odors.
Sometimes, these glands get infected and cause similar symptoms, so you would need an antibiotics to get rid of the problem.
There are many other conditions that could be causing excessive sweating like diabetes, hyperthyroid, hypoglycemia, liver disease, etc
