What Could Foul Odor In The Body Indicate?
I have an odor that only I seem to smell; slightly putrid like smelly feet or vomit. I am a nurse so I know the smell of infectious drainage, wounds etc. It's not like that, but I'm wondering if something internally is occurring, such as a cancerous tumor that I am unaware of.

hello dear. Some person may emit some products of metabolism in their sweat which are smelly but it is harmful. Smelly odour can also be seen in a liver failure patient who is terminally ill and unconscious but i dont think you fall in that category, so you need not to worry. regards
