Recently, my everyday life has been a continuous struggle to stay smelling fresh. I have this really bad odor coming from my groin(specifically where the testicles and thighs meet). The odor can get really pungent if I work up a sweat or exercise. Because of this I try not to be as active(which sucks). This problem started about the beginning of Sophomore year and now it's almost the end of Junior Year(almost a whole semester). I'm not quite sure why this problem started because I had no problem with
Body Odor 9th grade. Now, don't get me wrong I am a very hygienic person. I shower regularly and apply deodorant/antiperspirant like every other person out there. But for some reason it doesn't change anything. I take a shower and my groin still smells after a good couple of hours or so. I've tried almost everything I could think of: shaving the area, putting a thin layer of deodorant on the affected area, wearing loose underwear to allow the area to breathe, using antifungal cream in case of an infection. Everything and still nothing. This issue is really embarrassing and takes a toll on my social life. I can't go out and have fun like I used to, can't go to the store, I'm even scared to go to my classes due to the fear of being referred to as the "stinky guy". This problem is literally a nightmare and I would like to hear if anyone else is going through what I am and if you guys have any advice as to eliminating this problem for good.
