BREAST ODOR

HELLO EVERYONE,

RECENTLY IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A BODY ODOR LIKE SMELL WHICH IS COMING FROM MY BREAST. I DO HAVE A BIGGER CHEST, BUT I AM VERY CLEAN NONE THE LESS. I ASSUMED THAT THIS ODOR MAY BE PRESENT DUE THE FACT THAT IT IS THE SUMMER AND I TEND TO SWEAT MORE, BUT I NOTICED IT AGAIN ON FRIDAY AT WORK AND MY BODY WAS COMPLETELY DRY. I HAD TWO OF MY FRIENDS AT WORK, ONE MY BOSS, SMELL THE AREA AND THEY CONFIRMED.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A WOMEN EVEN IF SHE ISN'T SWEATING?
2. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN TAKE OR EVEN APPLY TO MY BREASTS THAT IS SAFE AND WON'T AFFECT THE AREA.
THANK YOU ALL

I have been using a cream called:  Breast Fresh.  It stops some sweating and I do not have the smell.

I haven't tried the fungal treatment. I hope that works. I have a severe citrus allergy so grapefruit seed and lemon/lime are out for me. The smell used to go away using powder, but now it doesn't. I'm getting really frustrated with this.

I have been silently stalking this website as I too, HAD the same awful odor radiating from between my breasts, wafting up to my nose. I am not even that big.....34C or 36B.  It's only been one whole week, but the smell is gone, and was gone the first time I sprinkled this between and under my breasts.  It hasn't returned although I use this everyday.  Baby power doesn't work.....but this does......AMMENS Medicated Powder. I remembered using it for Athletes foot, and with all the talk of perhaps fungus related, I  bought it to test it out. It works.  Try it.  You've got nothing to lose.....except that embarrassing smell.
