Sudden horrible BO?

These past week I've been really smelly on 4 or 5 occasions.
Been using body spray to mask it, but thats not sorting anything.
Anyone got any suggestions for what may have caused the sudden change? Deodorant hasn't changed.

Change of diet? Problem with the washing machine? is your skin irritated? If so, it could be an infection.

I also got much more sensitive to smell when I was pregnant, so I don't know if that is a possibility for you? In fact, waking up and smelling the bin (all the way downstairs in the kitchen) was one of the first signs.

Have you ever had your blood sugar tested? Are you drinking more or less than usual? How's your general health and energy levels?

If it's only just started and it's quite strong I would be inclined to see your GP. I also agree with DameFanny. Have you noticed anything different about your general heath?

Don't think I'm ill - no more tired than a mum to a toddler and preschooler who object to sleeping through might be! Had a medical at work just before Christmas, and that didn't pick up anything - bloods taken, cholesterol borderline high, but otherwise clear. Could do with shifting 5kg of post baby weight.
Nope, not pregnant.
Will consider GP then. Sounds like overkill, but if more than one of you is suggesting it, maybe I just don't use the GP often enough.
