Over the past few weeks I have noticed a strange odor in my urine.  I can sometimes smell this odor in my nose without urinating.  At the same time I seem to have developed 2 small rash like areas under my left arm pit that does not respond to any local creams.  I am otherwise a healthy 42 year old male that rarely drinks and does not smoke. Any idea what is going on?
Hi, It appears from your query that your mother is suffering from the condition medically called as \"broth Chat Doctor. Our body contains innumerable bacteria allover the body known as \"normal flora\". On the skin especially these bacteria breakdown the compounds present in the sweat. Because of these bacteria a typical body odor is produced in everybody. Now in certain persons the eating habit and diet plays a vital role in body odor. If anybody is eating a lot of garlic, onions or related food then it is quite common that the chemicals in these are secreted in sweat. So there is different pungent smell of the sweat coming out of pores. Maintain good body hygiene by bathing two times. Antiperspirant powders can be used frequently. Stay away from hot and humid climate. Wear cotton clothes changed two times daily. Apply an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole in it to reduce the fugal infection at arm pit area. Take care.
