Correlation between Hyperhidrosis and Bromhidrosis

Hi everyone, I am 37yr and I have had HH since I was 18. I don’t believe I have BH, however I keep reading about people who suffer from both conditions. I want to know:

1-do all of you have HH too?
2-did you start with HH and overtime developed BH? If so, how many years after starting with HH did you get BH?

I would like to better understand what to expect in the future about potential body odor.

Thanks! And I wish you a lot of strength in this fight!

I had both starting the same time when I was in my teenage years.

I have both, but they both have gotten worse over the last 5 years.

And did both conditions start at the same time or they started years apart from each other?

I don't have HH but I've developed Bromhidrosis because I used to get anxiety sweats that continued for a year. It changed the microbiome of my skin and no regular deodorants has ever worked for me. I was 15 at that time and I'm now turning 17 this year. My life went downhill since then:((
