I have a very embarrassing problem whereby I suffer from very bad body odour, people have often said that my body smells of urine or some sort of bad burning smell. This has totally ruined my life and dont know what to do.
I do what most people often do, I shower every morning before going to work, I have a change of clothes everyday and also apply deoderant or eu de toilet everyday, but this still does not make any difference.
I am angry and frustrated and dont know what to do?
^ yep, do that, lol. How can I argue with sister skye!

Do you sweat a lot? You said deodorant, have you tried antiperspirant? Buy a few different brands and see which works best. When you shower do you scrub and use an antibacterial soap?
Don't let this get you down because you seem to have good hygiene, and this just may just turn out to be a medical problem.
Its very hard to survive in a society with this disease which considers being "well groomed" a religion.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
If you take a shower and still smell like that, then it is definitely your clothes.
Wash your clothes every week.
Take a shower everyday before you leave your house. If you have time , take one before sleep.
Use Shampoo, body wash & soap.
Put on Cologne.
Apply Deodorant under armpits and around private area.
Its common sense and you should be able to detect it.
very bad odor can be caused by a rare syndrome called trimethylaminuria and it isn't the only syndrome of its kind.. I am not suggesting at all that it is what you have, but since you stated, you change your clothes daily, shower everyday and use the deodorants, I really think it is time you visited with a doctor... I don't think anyone can give you advise on the forum that you probably haven't tried in real life..

May Allah Ta'ala make it easy for you. As Banu Hasim said, we can't really dispute Sister Skye's words.
It's good to remember we all have our faults, even if we don't reveal them. I also have an excema problem. I got a big rash on my right leg. :X It's utterly disgusting. Anyway, I apply medicine to it.
When I was younger, I had a horrible dandruff problem. It left me after ... I think like 15 years! That was after many shampoos and medicine and what have you.

somethings you can do now before you book an appt. (the chlorophyllin) mentioned below is the body mint which I have shown in my first post.. so you can try that for now.. any sort of antibiotic (if in fact you have this condition) can only be prescribed by a doctor.. only use deodorants or body washes that have an 'antibacterial' in them
Currently, there is no known cure or treatment for the disorder. However, some people affected by the disorder live relatively normal lives by managing their symptoms and with counseling. When the condition is suspected or known to occur in a family, genetic testing can be helpful in identifying the specific individuals who have or carry the disorder.
Ways of reducing the fishy odor may include:
Taking low doses of antibiotics such as neomycin and metronidazole[6] in order to reduce the amount of bacteria in the gut
Using slightly acidic detergent with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5
Additionally, at least one study[7] has suggested that daily intake of the supplements activated charcoal and/or copper chlorophyllin may improve the quality of life of individuals afflicted with TMAU by helping their bodies to oxidize and convert TMA to the odorless N-oxide (TMAO) metabolite. Study participants experienced subjective reduction in odor as well as objective reduction in TMA and increase in TMAO concentration measured in their urine. The study's success rates varied:
85% of test participants experienced complete loss of detectable "fishy" odor
10% experienced some reduction in detectable odor
5% did not experience any detectable odor reduction
i always say ''if you can't smell the smell yourself......then people's opinion you must repel!''
you take a shower every morning that's more than enough!
thats dangerous lol... you can never smell your own odour because you're immune to it.
Do you remember how Rasullullah will try his best to make himself smells good...and he spend more on perfume that the food itself...huhu
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.

I havent tried antiperspirant, I will have to try it and see if using antibacterial deodorant and antibacterial soap actually works.
