body odor
Armpit smell problem
Body odor is the unpleasant smell that emanates from a person's body, typically caused by bacteria breaking down sweat.
The term usually refers specifically to the smell from armpits, though it can apply to any part of the body.
Someone with noticeable body odor might be described as having B.O., the common abbreviation.
He forgot deodorant and was self-conscious about his body odor all day.
