8 year and body odour

My 8 year old daughter has noticeable body odor, it's been happening since last year. And some pubic hair- I have 4 other girls and none of the others have experienced this at a fairly young age.

Is it normal for 8 year old etc? Just seems quite early.

If this started before she was eight then it could be precocious puberty and she needs to see the GP.
