Hi every one. Im 16 years old and i have had this problem for about a year now. I kno this may sound crazy but i get foul smelling odors from my rectum whenever around friends, surrounded by alot of people, nervous or excited. It smells like my insides are rottening. It has changed me from a popular fun loving girl to this anti-social nothing. People smell me and they either think that i just stink or i have farted. I also sweat under my arms a lot and twitching in different spots all over my body.  My mom has taken me to two different doctors for it and everything is still the same. Guys this condition is ruining my life. I dont have any fun any more i dont go to parties and i don't even want to attend prom any more. I don't enjoy life anymore. I really hope and pray that you all will help me find a solution to my problem.

Well i have come to find out that i have Graves' disease. My immune system has been producing antibodies to attack my thyroid glad and causing Hyperhydrosis and many other problems. I've got a doctors appointment 6th and hopefully she will take care of it. Thanks again.

Hello,
Bad odor is mostly of sweat which may be seen in anxiety,obesity, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, synthetic fibers and warm temperatures. It is also seen in excessive sweating or hyperhydrosis which you already have.Hyperhydrosis may be primary (without known cause and usually starts during childhood or adolescence and persists all life) or secondary (as part of an underlying condition like Hyperthyroidism or similar endocrine diseases and dermatological conditions like eczema, psoriasis).

I think getting a thyroid profile tested in the lab may help and also please consult a dermatologist to find out the confirmatory diagnosis as treatment depends on the same.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted in case of any additional queries and how you are doing.
