Since sweat is actually sterile when it is secreted the smell is probably from a yeast infection. The sweat and warmth of your body provide an excellent incubation environment for the yeast. The bigger question is what will cure the yeast smell, the answer, see your pharmacist, he/she can help.

Yeast is termed as the fungal overgrowth in the body which usually gives bad smell. Some may have been aware of it and others not. It could be caused by negligence of personal hygiene (especially during menstruation period), intake of certain medications (antibiotics), pathological disorders (diabetes, liver and kidney diseases).
