How body odour develops and its emotional impact – Dr. Rosaline

Dr. Roseline Osazuwa has highlighted the emotional toll that strong body odour can have on individuals.

“When someone has a strong odour, they often feel self-conscious and may struggle with low self-esteem,” the dermatologist revealed on Joy Prime, monitored by MyNewsGh.

“It can affect their relationships, workplace interactions, and overall quality of life.”

She explained that body odour develops through a natural process involving sweat and bacteria.

“Our skin harbours millions of bacteria, known as normal flora, which serve essential functions,” she said.

“However, when certain bacteria act on sweat, they produce distinct smells. For example, bacteria in the armpits can generate a sulphur-like smell, while others can lead to odours resembling certain foods.”

Dr. Rosaline also pointed out that body odour can originate from various areas of the body, including the scalp, armpits, groin, and feet.

“The key is to understand how body odour develops and to take proactive steps to manage it,” she concluded, reassuring viewers that body odour is a natural part of being human.

Her insights aimed to educate and empower individuals to manage body odour confidently while maintaining their self-esteem and personal hygiene.
