What triggers the stinky body odour?

The unpleasant smell of the body, or to be more exact, of someone’s sweat, is one of the most common disorders.

The condition of the increased production of the sweat from the sweat glands is actually medically called the hyperhidrosis and it is very frequent disorder. It is not dangerous, nor very unhealthy, but it can be troublesome considering the aesthetics and embarrassment.
