Body Odor
Prolonged and excessive perspiration during sleep may cause body odor. It's not the sweat itself that has a foul smell. Body odor develops when sweat mixes with bacteria on the skin located in the armpits, breasts and genital areas.
On average, men experience more body odor problems than women because they excrete more significant amounts of sweat. Frequent showering, limiting spicy foods and using a topical deodorant may help minimize body odors during the night.4‘Sweating and Body Odor.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/17865-sweating-and-body-odor
