What Causes Foul Smell Emitting From The Nails?

Hello I am embarrassed about my condition. I haven t tell anyone about this. Everytime I wake up I always smell my nails and they stink. And I knew that I scratch or hold my private unconsciously at sleep. I knew it because when I have menstruation I see the under of my nail with mens. stains and they stink like the blood. I tried to mind set stopping it. Because it might affect in the future. I don t feel itchy down there but it happens unconsciously in sleep. The mind set didn t happen because I can still see tracks of blood during my period and sometimes it stinks. What do you call this condition of scratching privates unconsciously in sleep? What is it caused of? I m ashamed of telling my family. I want to know about it.
