Why does my sweat smell like bread dough?
A key ingredient for the delicious smell of baking bread is yeast, which is decidedly less appetising when it appears on your body.
Most commonly associated with genital infections, did you know you can also get yeast infections in your armpits?
Having a vaginal yeast infection, or a yeast infection in your armpits can cause your sweat to smell like bread dough.
Why does my sweat smell like vinegar?
A vinegary smell could be related to a few different health conditions.
If you have kidney disease, your kidneys may be unable to break down a chemical called urea.
Your body will then excrete urea through your urine and sweat – causing both to have a vinegar-like smell.
Diabetes may also cause your sweat to smell more acrid and vinegary than usual.
This is because metabolites, including acetone, are released into your sweat.
Trichomyosis can be another cause of vinegar-like body odour. This is a bacterial infection that affects your underarm hair.
A 2013 study found 35 percent of people with trichomycosis reported a change in body odour as a symptom.
