Think of what changes in diet that might contribute or something like that.
Showering alone isn't good enough to help get rid of the layer of dead skin on your body that can hold odor because of course it is decaying. Most often, we don't smell ourselves but a few others with sensitive noses can. If you can smell yourself, its either pretty strong or you have a sensitive nose.
Do you ever find when drying off after a shower that there is dead skin rubbing off when you are toweling dry? It might just be a need to scrub harder in the shower. A bar of soap with scrubby particles like ground apricot pits, is not enough. I am talking about a scratchy type of washcloth. Even better is giving your body a good dry brush scrub down with a boars hair brush made just for that reason. I got mine at a natural foods shop but I am sure you can ask around at department stores.
Once you have done this and can feel sure the odor is not due to layers of dead skin on your body, if the odor remains, it's time to go see a doctor.
I went to school with a kid who had a physical condition that didn't allow his pores of his skin to breathe and allow sweat to come out as it naturally should. As a result he reeked pretty strongly and as far as I know from what teacher said to not tease him, there wasn;t anything they could do about it then.
Perhaps the medical field has come up with ways to fix that by now if that is your case. Good luck [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

(I dont like to jump to conclusions that its medical because then it freaks me out, but thats just me) Otherwise if its nothing around you, maybe see a doctor. It could possibly be an issue with your body, and possibly even with a simple fix.
We can't really suggest a good answer for ya unless we know the underlying cause of the issue!
