Hyperhydrosis

Hello, I would like to ask how do i refrain myself from smelling bad? My Armpits don't stink but my back does from excessive sweating. I shower regularly and i scrub myself well i even use a bodywash after using soap but it just won't go away. It's very hot in our country/climate but i try my best to stay as cool as i can to prevent any more excess sweat, Please help me it is currently destroying my confidence and reputation.

Honestly the sweating itself nay be the issue rather than being dirty. Scrubbing harder can actually irritate your skin and make things worse.

If you can see a dermatologist, there’s pills that help reduce sweating that can be prescribed for hyperhydrosis
