5 body fragrances that should raise a red flag

An intense and persistent body fragrance.
Appearance of redness and itching.
Constantly moist skin.
Our advice: opt for breathable materials (organic cotton or linen), a dermatological soap and an antiperspirant that respects the skin microbiota.A persistent marine scent: the little-known syndrome.
You have just washed thoroughly, but a smell of the sea seems to follow you? This strange phenomenon could be linked to a rare genetic disorder: trimethylaminuria, sometimes referred to as “fish smell disease”.

The source of the problem? The accumulation of trimethylamine, a substance that your metabolism has difficulty eliminating.

Main triggering factors:

A diet rich in seafood, eggs or shellfish.
Family predisposition.
Characteristic symptoms:A body odor reminiscent of fish, even after showering.
Absence of visible skin lesions.
If suspected, modify your eating habits and seek the advice of a healthcare professional or nutritionist.
