Why Do I Smell so bad????

Im 20, for some reason I have the baddest odor in the city, and im just tired of it. People scratch their noses when Im around them,or they'll sniff in and make the ugliest faces, they'll say something like :"Whats that smell", "It smells like S***", "That kid smells nasty", etc. I first started noticing this when I was in 7th grade. And this is RUINING MY CONFIDENCE AND MY SOCIAL LIFE!!!!!! I NEED SUGGESTIONS PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!! I take 2 - 4 showers a day , I put on deodarant, I put cologne on myself. I wanna meet new people, I wanna go to parties without people noticing the BODY ODOR!!!!, or to the clubs. Ive also notice this when im nervous or scared???

Oh, and if you eat too much sugar, cut way back.  Eat more vegetables, but watch out for gas-producing ones.  Don't use a lot of garlic or onions.  Try a probiotic.

Are you talking about body odor as in sweat?  For that, try a soap with tea tree oil in it.  Use an antiperspirant, not just deodorant.  Make sure you wash your clothes with the right amount of Tide in the proper temperature.  Add half a cup of baking soda also.  How does the water smell, by the way?  Wipe out your dryer with vinegar and let it air dry.  Then thoroughly dry your clothes every time.  If you put them away with a hint of dampness, they will get sour.  

Trade off between shoes so they get to dry out between wearings.  Put medicated powder in them if that's an issue.  You can get foot spray that has mint and tea tree oil.  

If you use body powder, make sure it is talc, not corn starch,  

If these measures aren't covering the problem, you could have leakage from your belly button or perhaps a hemorrhoid is causing leakage from the rear.  A doctor would need to help you with those issues.
