Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Colleagues reporting body odour

Dear all
I have been asked to see again a lady whose colleagues insist has fairly severe episodes of body odour.
I am now being asked to confirm or deny any medical issues causing the problem.
This query has been formulated by the company lawyers.
The lady in question has a high BMI around 40 and is experiencing very heavy episodes of bleeding PV
I saw the lady in question last year.She is really distraught,using every type of deodorant etc
I am happy to see her to reassure her and have already advised that the most likely outcome is that I report that there is no medical explanation for the issue being raised by her colleagues and that I found no medical cause for any concern.
Has anyone any advice/guidance?

I tried last year to get the lady to use CBT for her self confidence. Single person office /home office working is not an option .
I do realise that this is a management issue but if there is any other avenue I can explore which would be helpful I would be really pleased to hear about it
Many thanks as always for all the brilliant feedback on this site.

Lynda
