The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive disorder are both carriers of one copy of the altered gene. Carriers may have mild symptoms of trimethylaminuria or experience temporary episodes of fish-like body odor. [citation needed] Mutations in the FMO3 gene, which is found on the long arm of chromosome 1, cause trimethylaminuria.
Armpit itching is caused by myriad issues, from contact dermatitis to cancer. Here are the most common conditions, treatments, and when to see a doctor. Here’s Why Your Armpits Are So Itchy ...
Intertrigo, commonly called “skin fold dermatitis”, refers to a type of inflammatory rash of the superficial skin that occurs within a person's body folds. [1] These areas are more susceptible to irritation and subsequent infection due to factors that promote skin breakdown such as moisture, friction, and exposure to bodily secretions and excreta such as sweat, urine, or feces.

Severe skin inflammation at armpit (warm, moist fold of skin) Streptococcal intertrigo is a skin condition that is secondary to a streptococcal bacterial infection. It is often seen in infants and young children and can be characterized by a fiery-red color of the skin, foul odor with an absence of satellite lesions, [1] and skin softening (due to moisture) in the neck, armpits or folds of the ...

Body Odor and Disease. In mammals, body odor can also be used as a symptom of disease. One's body odor is completely unique to themselves, similar to a fingerprint, and can change due to sexual life, genetics, age and diet. Body odor, however, can be used as an indication for disease.
The cause of the disease is a haploinsufficiency of the enzyme ATP2C1; [7] the ATP2C1 gene is located on chromosome 3, which encodes the protein hSPCA1.A mutation on one copy of the gene causes only half of this necessary protein to be made and the cells of the skin do not adhere together properly due to malformation of intercellular desmosomes, causing acantholysis, blisters and rashes.
