I have been searching for an answer, but so far nothing has really matched my issues! Since I turned 40, my body has developed all sorts of interesting quirks. The worst is this. On top of my hot flashes, I have developed terrible body odor which comes from my chest. It began just from time to time. now it goes on for about two weeks each month. There is no amount of scrubbing, exfoliating, deodorant soaps that prevent it. I tried to alter my body odor by watching what I eat and taking supplements like cinnamon to mask the smell. What is strange is that the oils there have become very waxy. I have even started putting deodorant between my breasts, which is just gross. All the on-line suggestions I have found are not going to help. Doing yoga or deep breathing is not going to stop the odor. I need a fix! has anyone ever heard of anything like this or found a solution?

The other is not so disgusting, but it is annoying. In the past couple months my back has suddenly become covered in freckles. There are quite a few on my arms and chest, but my back just exploded with them. What the heck?

I always said that Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor, but it is not so funny right now!
