Sooo…. Not something we like discussing but I really need to know if anyone else has experienced this.
So before my first shower there was a b.o smell understandably emitting from my right armpit as all I could do was wipe gently with wet wipes.
after a glorious shower with unperfumed shower gel I was sat in the bedroom and could smell roast lamb …,, ermmmm what the hell?? So I asked hubby to get his nose in there and he also smelt roast lamb. I am 3 showers in now and it does seem to be fading but I really need to know if anyone else has experienced this? It’s bizarre! x
Yes! I’ve had an awful smell from my armpit some time after mastectomy surgery and lymph removal..it actually smelt like poo (!) and thought dog had done a woopsie it only lasted about 5 days but I refrained from using deodorant and body lotion till it went! Weird as anything!
