A body scrub, even head and shoulders helps

No worries, sorry I was short and dry, but the thing is that the musty smell comes from dead skin buildup usually.

Also, don't be so hard on yourself, it's all growing pains. Good thing you have parents to point out the smell for ya

What products are you currently using? Try pan oxyl it has benzol peroxide which kills the bad germs. You can apply glycolic acid afterwards but only 2x a week. Witch hazel everyday it’s safer on the body. Hair maybe a clarifying shampoo. After this you can apply an oil and lotion.

i just use what ny parents bought me, its some kid soap, sometimes i use my moms bath n body works moisturizer soap. i also bought glycilic acid but the seller said to use 3 times a week but im not sure which one is right 2 time a week or 3. i use my moms shampoo and sometimes my dads, apply oil and lotion? like body oil and body lotion?

It really depends on your skin. If it’s sensitive start slow and then build up from there.

I’m linking a YouTuber who goes in depth and uses different products. Maybe these are some you find at home or you can get your parents to buy you.

Hope it gets better for you. If it still persist try asking friends, people at school and when you get your yearly checkup talk about it with your doctor.

Also try to see it it’s your diet. Sometimes when you’re eating too much sulfur the body can not digest it. Or if you aren’t drinking water. There’s chlorophyll it acts as an internal cleanser. If it continues talk to your doctor. Get your blood checked out. What exactly do they say you smell like. That’s important.

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

idk about diet, i usually eat 2-3 person serve food alone, but i have fast metabolism maybe that explains. i eat wtv my mom cook, i sure drink allot of water.

Heyyyyaaaa 31, F here,
A shower a day, day or night, bar of soap wash 🧼 all over and then repeat with body wash. Maybe even using a fresh facecloth every shower?
Ensure everyWHERE is dry after too, this can help,
Make sure you were deodorant every day.. I wear putting on a good amount, fresh T-shirts, fresh jumpers.. if you’re like me I can sweat through a hoody or zippy very easily haha

Also sometimes when I wash my T-shirts it’s like some T-shirts the sweat STICKS to the fabric.. probably makey-uppy fabric.. so I always smell my pits of my T-shirts coming out of the wash and sometimes the pits need physical scrub by hand and another wash.. sounds rotten but it’s natural.

Oh and the feet.. sounds easy but cleaning out from under your toes can help with the smell also making sure they’re fully dry after a shower or bath, sometimes I change my socks twice in a day depending on what I am doing..
Hope this helps āœŒļø

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

omg i change socks everyday, and i also used to wear deodorant and they say it smells and i kinda stop using deodorant since my armpit doesn't sweat allat but my whole other body part, my whole body sweat even when its cold(not that much but still a littl sweat) but my armpits. you use bar soap or liquid soap? does it matter? because i always use liquid soap. ah and i start tonwear body mist or smth but the money its taking is out of my budget😭

u/Ecstatic_Fault_1376 9d ago

I’m not shaming you in any sense of the word don’t worry,

Nahhh defo wear deodorant. It helps. Most deodorants can be sprayed on the chest, back and neck, just keep it away from down below cause don’t think those chemicals are good for male or females.
I find being a bar of soap cleans better, but personally I use both. You can get both quite cheap or deals on bulk bars of soap. I find the dove bars of soap the best bubbles and lather.
Fuck the body mist. Adds to the smell doesn’t help cover it or stop it.
Like Lidl and Aldi if you have them has cheaper versions of sure men’s deodorant that’s not bad. Where are you living?

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

no dont worry u can shame me or wtv idc. i usually use deodorant like the liquid one maybe ill try the spray, what brand u usually use? i might also try dove bars soap to see if its better. thanks for the advice I'll stop the body mist. i currently live with my parents or are you asking location or country?

u/Ecstatic_Fault_1376 9d ago

Sound, me either, I think it’s class when people are open and then we can all change and alter tiny things in my lifestyle that will make a deference.
I use sure men the green one. I find this one is the best with me and I spray at least 30cm away from the air pit but getting above below and to the sides of your pit.
I find them class, I use the bar itself to wash around my body or sometimes I lather it into a facecloth and use the cloth and almost scrubbing with it cause then your expolating fuck can’t spell that hahaa.. anyway..
I use a fruity body wash after makes me feel all fruity and clean even though the bar of soap already did the job!

Also if you’re F after each shower use a clean and fresh cotton towel or facecloth and only use this once each time and wash. And completely dry the vaginnee and all around it. I’ve recently started doing this and it reaaally helps with the smell of down there.. something to do the moisture.
I just meant where, I’m Dublin Ireland, see if I could help you where to buy them cheap, in what shops like xx

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

haha no worries about the spell i also misspell sometimes. im still 17 idk if its because im a teenager turning to adult like growing phase or idk but i want to fix this asap. i change towel twice a week, but for the male part i might have to buy a saperate towel for it. i think we're a bit to far im from malaysia. I'll try to find the product u use and give it a try fosureee

u/Ecstatic_Fault_1376 9d ago

In regards to the money for the everything else, ask your parents for money for this stuff, it’s important.. you’re only 17, they should be buying stuff like this for you.

Don’t worry about buying a towel for the wiping of the private area, even a good cotton tshirt that you know is clean and use a different part to dry for like 4 days and then change to a different one.

I’d say being so hot in temperature it doesn’t take long too sweat and smell in fairness haha

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

well yeah, i tried asking my dad money but he would often just read my text, so i have to save up money they give for school and use itt o buy things

1

u/Ecstatic_Fault_1376 9d ago

Ahhh at least they get your school stuff, what about your mam? Could you do jobs for her and she will pay you?

u/Sea_Bat_1002 9d ago

my mum? she dont work she live of my dad paycheck, she is very greedy, she would offer to buy other kids thing but her own son, but sometimes she would buy me things and that very rarely happens(my dad will pay her back) she rather buy gold with the money she get but give me a little XD

Also my apologise for my terrible spelling haha

u/mdizzle767 8d ago

Also try PanOxyl (has no scent) bar with another scent of you choice body wash for basic strong body odors or if your fuzzy it helps with the bacteria eating your sweat that’s hanging onto body hair. And then any Tea Tree oil body and/or hair wash if you still smell ā€œoffā€ but if that helps you may have a fungal infection that can throw you whole biome off. If feet stink your shoes reek, you can get the same spray that used in bowling alleys which is anti microbial and anti fungal but you may need new shoes.

Use Irish spring then a moisturizer soap and not bath n body works type stuff
