What is this smelly smell that I smell?!


Question: What is this smelly smell that I smell?
This started a while ago. I started smelling this weird smell. I'm pretty sure it's coming off of my body, because I smell it everywhere. It's an odd smell and it gets pretty gross after a while. I have this feeling it might be coming from the inside of my nostril... Is it possible it could be? I get nervous that people can smell it and get grossed out by it. I'm not sure if they can or not. It's not B.O. and it comes back pretty quickly after showering. If it is my nose, how can I clean my nose? What would cause an odd smell in my nostril?

P.S. I'm 15, so I don't want kids (you know how they can be) to judge me. And also, could I be sick?
And one last thing, I can't really describe what it smells like, sorry.

idk,, try a different soap



If you are NOT circumcised, then you must retract your foreskin & make sure all the Smegma is washed out of there each time you bathe - or it will begin to smell like dead fish - and could become infected.

If you think it's inside your nose - then blow your nose first thing in the morning & again at bedtime.



if you get nervous in school, then you will sweat, and then thinking about how nervous you are and if other classmates can smell will make you sweat more and it will make you smell worse. try a stronger anti persperant deodorant. i had the same problem (im 15 as well) and axe dry seems to work great for me.



Your not a little kid any more. Your just going to have to wash a whole lot better than you used to. A quick rinse off shower wont cut it. Men have to wash really well in all the appropriate places. REALLY WELL BRO!



Yeah you could be sick. Ask one of your friends if they can smell it. Go to a doctor.



smegma. Clean that wiener good.

Well, I have to possibilities.

First if you think it's coming from your nostril then maybe it is. If you've ever stuck anything up there... say a tissue or Q-tip and a bit of it broke off way up in the nostril, then it could be up there still and you might not be able to reach it. After a while, this will start to stink. I mean REALLY stink and others around you will be able to smell it. Ask a trusted family member or even the school nurse to smell your nostril.

If your nostril does not smell, then it's possible that the smell is actually not physical at all. Some medical conditions can cause people to smell things that aren't really there. You can have a form of epilepsy that manifests the seizures in the form of the sufferer smelling weird smells!

If you are unable to find the source of the odor on your own, then please do see your pediatrician and ask him for help with this. Don't be shy. Doctors have seen and smelled it all!
