1, Area like the foot pose a problem because the sweat becomes trapped by socks and shoes.

2, The odour associated with the armpits is because the sweat cannot easily evaporate.

3, Bacteria decompose the sweat to produce the characteristic body odour.

Some parts of the body like the armpits and genitals have a strong smell because they are richly endowed with all types of glands. As these are covered,
water cannot evaporate easily and offensive body odours are thus caused..

Any amount of scrubbing or washing would be able to get rid of only a fraction of the bacteria and that too for a very short time.
