Foul Odour

I have this very same problem. It’s effecting my mental health so much. I just can’t get it under control.

I had inverse-psoriasis in my groin. It seemed to be associated with a fungal element also. I tried for months to get it under-control but it kept coming back every 3-4 weeks or never truly going away. Fortunately I never got as far as any foul smell even when it was raw and weeping. Finally I got rid of it with Trimovate. First after showering I used paper-towel (Kitchen roll) rather then a towel to dry the area, and then used a hair-dryer to ensure the area was completely dry. Then I applied Trimovate sparingly and tried as far as possible to make sure it was well-rubbed in. This was painful at first but became less painful day by day very quickly. Once the Trimovate was absorbed, and I tried to ensure the are was a dry as possible. I dusted it with a mildly medicated powder. Once the psoriasis/lesions had disappeared, I continued with the Trimovate for a further 5-6 days. Since then I still use kitchen roll to dry my groin rather than a towel to prevent any cross infection or re-infection with fungal infection, and I apply medicated powder to the area. The key for me has been to try and keep the area as dry as possible. I have been able to keep the lesions away for more than 1.5 year now.

As a newbie, I also have just discovered foul smelling ooze in my armpits. My method of mitigation is to give up heavy cotton shirts and instead to wear summery light-weight seersucker shirts. They don't cling to the skin and allow an air layer.
