I think its fungus infection.Speak with someone trusted or go to the doctor or pharmacy and find out if they can help.

leakage indicates allergy or infection. Odor indicates infection. Leave earrings out until it is cleared up. Can run a thick thread thru the hole to preserve it until it heals. If not better after 3 days with no earrings, go to doctor.

It smells like rusty Iron because your red bloodcells use iron to transport oxygen to your cells

It is perfectly natural to have some odor.  Simply wash with a clean washcloth with some soap and water once or twice a day.  If that doesn't do it, soak a papertowel in rubbing alcohol and rub it on your pits.  That should kill off any odor-causing bacteria.\n\nAnother reason for odor could be your clothing.  Soak your clothes for a few hours and then wash them with soap and a little bleach.\n\nRemoval of the sweatglands is unnecesary and potentially harmful.

Bad smell from ear can only mean infection, but other people shouldn't be able to smell it. My guess that something else is wrong and the ear thing is an excuse. But it is your mum's friend so talk to your mum but don't get involved directly.

It could be gas or air, or pleurisy - fluid around your heart.  It could also be more serious.  If it persists you should get it checked out.

Okay, this is going to sound disgusting, but does it look like a ball of pasta? Does it have a bad odor?  I'm not sure how old you are but I too had a period where this was happening to me all the time.\n\nIt still occurs every now and then (during allergy season primarily) but not with the frequency it once did. It's been said that it is a build up of plaque (the same that covers your teeth) that accumulates.\n\nJust keep up with the oral hygiene.  It will pass.\n\nIt's freaky, but it won't hurt you.

I can't answer why but I can testify it sure does make it smell "different".\n\nI Googled it and here is what I found - \n\nThe smell cannot be noticed in raw or cooked asparagus, so it is believed that the body converts a compound within asparagus into a metabolite, which can then be smelled in the urine. The odour is often described as the smell of rotten or boiling cabbage, or even ammonia, and is believed to be due to the presence of methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol, which is a sulphur containing derivative of the amino acid methionine.

it sorta sounds like it's just swollen from the piercing, cartiladge is painful to pierce and takes a long time to heal.  if it's just swollen and red I wouldn't worry too much but if it's leaking pus then you may have an infection.  whatever you do, don't take out the jewelry!  the hole will close up and seal the infection inside potentially causing you more pain and problems.  talk to the piercer about proper aftercare (I hope you went to a licensed professional) and call your doctor.  DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to try and disinfect, it will only irritate it more.  DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN THOUROUGHLY WASHED, that should be a no-brainer.  when you're in the shower and the crusties around the jewelry is soft enough make sure you rotate the ring but never attempt to do this dry, it'll hurt and you'll make it worse if it is infected

Food you eat can also cause I change in smell. Asparagus and Brocolli are notorious. Excessive red meats can do it too.

Perhaps you aren't drinking enough water, this can change the smell.

Probably a cist, see your doctor NOW!

could be something going on with an old filling. sometimes that could cause that taste, especially if they are those old silver fillings.

Maybe you should try soap and water.  That always makes everything smells better....except for @ss. Cuz your @ss hole smells no matter what you clean it with.

http://www.cdh.org/HealthInformation.aspx?pageid=P00260\n\n\nThis site may help but if it is infected usually there is an odor and sometimes yellow to greenish pus. This is not what you are going to be told by the doctor but I used something called bag balm. Its an antiseptic that is used on cow utters but is now sold at any pharmacy. My mother in law has a bad one on her foot and the duo derm which is what is usually perscribed wasn't helping and a visiting nurse suggested it. I cleaned the area with peroxide and then I applied a generous amount of bag balm and then wrapped it in gauze and taped it. I left it on until it looked as if it need to be changed. When they are changed too often they reopen and take longer to heal. I swear by this remedy. It worked several times when nothing else did.  Good luck to ya

I've noticed that after eating red meat the smell is worse. If this girl ever mentions going on a diet, tell her to try eliminating red meat. You could also carry a personal fan in your purse (runs on batteries , about the size of a small flashlight). There are two guys where I work, that even though they aren't around, you know they've been in the bathroom. It smells like a dead animal just crawled out their butt. And that's exactly what it is! Use air freshener (as suggested by others), try the fan thing or just suck it up (so to speak).
