Ask your friend whether the smell is emanating from you or him. You will point out the quandary, but will not point out the blame.

I would try to be polite and say it nicely, so that the person doesn't think I try to be rude or something like that

I have found that more often than not, usually people appreciate it if you inform them of things that might be off-putting to other people. Especially if you know the person and has regular contact with that person, like a friend.
Just don't be weird about it, be overly informative about it, or try to get too involved in his situation.
If he has an issue, he knows about it and will tell you, and if he needs help he will ask. Other than that, give the person a heads-up and leave it at that.
Well, this has been my experience.

Just talk to him. As a real friend you should be able to talk about those things.

It can be a sensitive topic, but it's best to be honest and respectful. Try to mention it privately and offer solutions.

It's really hard to say it but you gotta try. I would be honest about the smell, but also be honest with how it makes you feel bad to tell them.

Don't be a dick about it, but you can certainly tell them so. I'm sure they'll appreciate you looking out for them.
