Not exactly sure where to post this. If I am in the wrong area I apologize...
I have had a overhang for 20+ years. I have learned how to treat the rashes and have been fine, but since I have started losing weight there is now a bad smell coming from that area.. Any suggestions to 'cure' them smell? The stuff I use to clear up the rashes doesn't help.
Hi Overstressedmom! You may have some time of yeast or fungal infection on your skin. I would see a doctor so you can get it cleared up if that is the case. Good luck!
I agree about the doctor, but if you can't go, then maybe try Calendula oil? It's very healing to the skin. I think it's important to keep the area clean and dry as possible so perhaps a bandage. The odor indicates some sort of bacterial or fungal overgrowth. I hope something helps you.
Try an antiperspirant/deodorant a gentle one like dove. Seriously. You are moving more and sweating more. It most likely is just body funk. if that doesn't clear it up in a couple of days see a doctor
