Perhaps you should cut back on the almond milk.
No self respecting dentist is gong to want to motorboat a pair of Guido-feet while you’re in the arms of Morpheus.
Think about that one.
Well, the answer is bacteria. The question is why?
It’s definitely just you.
Perhaps if you went on a diet and looked like any other adult male.
Oddly, I saw an Oprah episode about that. Or maybe it was Dr. Phil? To my archives!
Pay a visit to Dr. Google. He may have some helpful suggestions.
Because you were all out of brie?
pit-stick is for all pits…
keep it fresh, yo
Lift your fun bags up a bit higher, and scrub diligently with ph neutral soap. it smells like stinky cheese or feet because of dead skin and sweat mingling and bacteria feasting on it…you dirty cow.
Hing Frogg your close, but I think the OP has a little yeast infection going on (fungal)–not uncommon for women and men when we have to bundle ourselves up to stay warm in wet and cold weather, with no room for body folds to properly breathe. OP, try washing with warm water only (no soap) and pat dry, then try dusting a little cornstarch underneath your breasts morning and evening, and wear a not-too-snug COTTON sports bra until the smell and redness has gone. If this doesn’t clear in 2-3 days then see your FD or go to a walk-in clinic for an exam. DO NOT try anti-fungal creams because you probably don’t need them (they are for worse yeast infections), and using them can make your minor cond worse. Hope this helps.
COTTON sports bras exist? Only ever seen the polyester ones in stores. Where does one find an elusive COTTON bra? Polyester is the queen of stink production fabrics.
Why am I craving spaghetti all of a sudden?
Agreed Oceanchick. Believe it or not I have found cotton sports bras at Walmart. They are inexpensive and would really do the trick for OP. I haven’t shopped for those in a while tho, so they may be harder to find now. If Danskin still exists their cotton-lycra stuff is awesome for workouts and sweat control–probably findable online.
Slap some corn starch under your yeasty pair. Works for me dad.
See Candida diet.
if you can’t find a cotton sports bra (or can’t afford new bras) wear a cotton t shirt and put your bra on OVER it, tucking in and up all the stuff that needs to be tucked. (hot flash trick)
clean bra daily and avoid laundry additives.
and wash as she sang suggested. I found powdery stuff like cornstarch becomes hard little pebbles within an hour, so I avoid that. lol, spend time on your back so your under-boob area gets some air. in the sun if you can manage that.
I don’t know if baby rash zinc ointment is cancer causing, but it works very quickly if you have redness and weeping. wear a cotton t shirt under the bra for sure, that stuff ruins clothing.
if it gets bright red and itchy or painful see the doctor. fungal.
I imagine anyone over a c cup has been through this. esp if you spent a night sitting up on a train or bus trip.
My friend’s wife chastised him one day for washing white cotton sport bras in hot water along with dark colours. Not missing a beat, he snapped back, “Their my bras and I’ll wash them any way i please.”
Does your belly button smell equally awful to match?
Try shaving, it helps.
My toenails smell like Parmesan cheese.
I have no idea why but this bitch made me actually laugh out loud. Needed that after sitting in traffic for a total of 2 hours and 42 mins today (but who is counting?)
Prolly from fermented food crumbs that done fell down your cleavage and fortified.
Clean out your trapper keeper.
