Over 4 years ago I received surgery to remove a tumour from my brain. This has left what I describe as a dip in my skull. It is not too big but quite deep. It did not cause a problem until about 10 months ago when it became quite smelly. I have been back and forward to the doctors but they can’t explain it. I have been back to neurosurgery but they say it’s nothing they can help with. I wondered if anyone else had had a similar problem post brain surgery and found a solution; even after washing it smells!
