Individuals who experience really problematic “body odour” suffer from a condition known as Bromhidrosis (or Osmidrosis) and no matter how much deodorant, antiperspirant or perfume is used, the odour remains most of the time, despite almost constant washing. The syndrome affects every aspect of the sufferer's life; school, work, friendships, romance, sporting activities, even shopping. Treatments are now available to alleviate this distressing condition, but in order to gain the maximum benefits, it is important to fully understand the background of this complaint and how the various treatments work.
