what on earth...... I am clean. I am always clean. However for the past few days my right elbow (the crook of it) has been omitting a god awful stench. I can't wash it off. It is foul.

It smells like feet and rot and awfulness. There is no broken skin, it just looks like a normal elbow. WTF.

why is this happening? anyone got any ideas? soap isn't doing anything!

How bizarre! Are you drying it carefully?

As pps ave said can any one else smell it?

Must be something you’re wearing surely?

You to have it independently sniffed. Grab your loved one and make them have a poke about in your elbow with their shnozz.

Def no red or itch or dryness? I would have guessed a fungal infection but if the skin looks completely fine I don't think it can be that.

Have you been wearing something made of leather? Jacket, handbag, something with straps? Sometimes I find that leather that gets wet can smell rank.

Sure it’s not your breath?

Something fungal I think

Have you got any animals in the house that maybe you have picked up and they have an issue with their bum?

Have you been carrying a bag there?

Can anyone else smell it? Are you sure it's your elbow and not inside your nose?

LabradorMama · 08/05/2019 20:58

No idea but totally intrigued. Can you smell it anywhere else? You could try vinegar on cotton wool to wipe it off. But it might then smell of vinegar
