Bad Body Odor

I heard people say that I smell bad but when I ask my friends and family they say that they don't smell it. It is a really bad smell and people in the classrooms can smell it and comment on it. The comments are anywhere from smelling butt to smelling like poop. I went to the doctors and they said that the could not smell it and ran tests and said that nothing was wrong. I don't understand because people still comment on how bad I smell. Its really hard because I cannot smell it. I was wondering if maybe I have an infection that did not come up or some kind of disease? I could really use some help

Hello, I would try adding extra "Zinc" to your diet, this can help with certain body odors.  Also increase your water intake to 8 8oz a day, this helps flush the toxins out of your system.

Well if your family and the doctor says they can't smell anything bad on you, I would believe them.  Some friends may not always be honest so as not to hurt the friend with a problem.

If you are washing, using deodorant and wearing clean clothes, and especially clean underpants and socks every day, then you have nothing to worry about and believe in your parents.

We can get a bad smell that comes from the mouth and it can be very bad if people do not brush their teeth or have a bad throat, bad teeth and gums or have a bad stomach or if they have eaten any strong foods like garlic.

May be someone is letting wind and then blaming you.  
May be someone has trodden in something not very nice and the smell is not you, but off someone else's shoes.

It is very likely that the people in the classrooms are bullying you and trying to make you feel bad about yourself.  Try and ignore them or agree that there is a bad smell in the room and open a window.
