Trouble with odor

I am a 21 year old male. for the past year and a half I've been experiencing a very foul sour odor from my groin area. i have been experiencing excessive sweating in that area. i am a very active individual and used to play basketball on a regular basis. my sweat never used to emit this sort of odor at all. The sweat is originating from the creases in the groin. its a very uncomfortable sensation. i have tried using powders, different soaps, and colognes. the odor is just so pungent that none of these helps for every long at all.

To describe the odor, i would say that it is just very sour. Period. It encompasses large areas and even though i take 2 showers everyday, there seems to be no improvement. it extremely embarrassing and is causing me a lot of anxiety. i don't go out or play sports anymore. i just go for runs on my own. i am not overweight. i stand at about 6"1 and am 170 lbs.

again, this has been occurring for about a year and a half, my family physician hasn't provided any help at all. i am a smoker and i also do not have any sexually transmitted diseases as i have been tested already. a main concern of mine is if this could be caused by over masturbation?

any and all help is greatly appreciated.

this happens to me occasionally when i go through a dry spell and masturbate a lot. I dont know why it happens or what specifically causes it.

this that i have found that works for me:
using an antibacterial body wash and washing my genitals really good and letting the soap sit on the area for a bit before i rinse it off.
then I use a bar of soap that contains a deodorant (irish springs makes some that say deodorant on the box) and clean my genitals really good , let it stay on for a bit before i rinse.

I use this method everyday to prevent the odor from coming back.

Also is this does not help there is a product called NoOder
that is a male genital cream that has antifungal properties to it that you can buy on the internet.

it is specifically made for this problem.

it will do the job rub some on the effected smelling area before bed, wake up the next day and take a shower.

the NoOrdor causes a darkening to the scrotum skin color but will recover in a few days.
