change in body odor due to stress?
lately, ive noticed a different kind of body odor even when im not making much movement. just studying at home (computer about a foot away from me). I don't feel really sweaty (just a little bit). My underarms just smell kind of weird (hard to explain). Could it be due to the stress at school? lately ive seen a downward spiral of my grades and have been quite upset/depressed about it.
What can i do to improve my odor condition?
Answers:
Mine used to smell like oxo cubes when I was stressed so maybe there's something in it!
Perhaps you could up your water intake, and try a different deoderant.

Hi
I don’t want to sound patronising, but I would start by trying to deal with the stress. Can you find someone who will listen and you can talk too about how you feel?
Actually you maybe able to help your stress/depression and help the body odor too. If your studying hard and not getting much exercise as you get less fit your ‘sweat’ becomes more concentrated and thus smells more. Taking time out to do some mild exercise will help your stress levels, put you in a good mood and water down your sweat. Might help your grades too, if you are in a good mood you will be able to study easier.

I smell differently throughout my monthly cycle - with things really hotting up just before my period:D I smell of curried onions, even though i don't eat curry.
Could the smell be cyclical?

I notice my body odour changes when I'm ill or stressed. It is a way of the body dealing with any toxins, we tend to sweat them out, that is one reason it is good to keep up your water intake. If you are working on the computer for long periods of time you might find yourself frowning whilst concentrating. This can lead to tension and then you'll find you might be more annoyed than normal. I do think that anger will change your odour also. Sorry I can't be of more help.
