What causes buttocks odor?
The secretion, or sweat, from apocrine glands can be modified by bacteria on the surface of the skin, leading to an odor. This does not happen with eccrine secretion, such as that on the buttocks. The amount of eccrine secretion can increase for a number of reasons, such as when a person’s body temperature rises.
Why do I have a foul smell in my butt?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), like gonorrhea and chlamydia, can impact your butt area and cause abnormal odors. It’s often due to discharge that may leave the rectum, which tends to have a foul odor, Sonpal says.
Where does the odor come from in the buttocks?

Why do I have a foul smell in my rectum?
It’s often due to discharge that may leave the rectum, which tends to have a foul odor, Sonpal says.
