What causes Bromidrosis?

  1. Dry skin

  2. Foul-smelling perspiration due to yeast and bacteria

  3. Overuse of antiperspirants

  4. Dehydration

The correct answer is: Foul-smelling perspiration due to yeast and bacteria

Bromidrosis is a condition that leads to foul-smelling perspiration, often described as having an unpleasant odor. This is due to the combination of yeast and bacteria that interact with naturally occurring sweat. While options A, C, and D may contribute to the development of bromidrosis, they are not the primary cause. Dry skin can make it more difficult for the body to properly eliminate sweat, leading to a buildup of bacteria and yeast. Overuse of antiperspirants can also cause a buildup of sweat and bacteria due to the clogging of sweat glands. Dehydration can make sweat more concentrated and give it a stronger odor, but it is not the root cause of bromidrosis. It is the interaction between bacteria and yeast on the skin that causes the distinctive smell associated with this condition.
