Does your face smell bad? Mine smells horrible :(

All One God Faith, Dr. Bronner.

Change your soap.
Shower daily, and wash hair, and ALWAYS use a clean wash cloth. Get a plasic bristle brush made for shampooing to scrub your scalp when you shampoo.
What's wrong with taking the accutane?
You do seem to be infested with either a bacteria or yeast.
Try anti-bacterial on skin and if that doesn't work, try an antifungal ointment.
You might try taking a couple of teaspoons of raw vinegar daily.
Report back in a month.

If you also have foul smelling stools, you might want to consider internal parasites as well (like Shigella).

I had a problem with odor coming from my skin after coming back from visiting a 3rd world country and that is what mine turned out to be.

Quit smoking and apply it as a tincture can be very helpful. Tincture plus witchhazel is great. Acts as an anti inflamatory. It sounds like you have classic folliculitis:

Burrows solution really does work, but you need to find out what the underlying health problem is.

Does it smell like A-1 sauce?

use this soap
[link to www.swansonvitamins.com (secure)]

I'm not trying to sell anything but this soap is cheap, free of harsh chemicals and contains frankincense and myrrh which have really done the trick at removing stink on my body that other soaps and oils couldn't.

Frankincense and myrrh are antifungal, antibacterial, antimicrobial and they are known to help with acne scars and discoloration as well.

HFCS causes this.

or smoking tobacco with a high molasses content.

People are making light of what you are saying, making fun. If it happens to them, they may feel differently. Much the same happened to me and I am 70. I am very clean but I have psoriasis so I was blaming a lot of what was happening to me on that. Just recently I had a yearly checkup with a urologist and a urinalysis is always done. Turns out I had a terrible yeast infection and probably had had for some time. I was given diflucan..........one by mouth for 8 days, a high dose. But after feeling pretty bad from the high dose and the skin peeling from my face around my mouth and nose, the odor from my face and hair is gone and my face is better. The itching is also gone. I suspect it will take a while for it to completely leave and I may need more diflucan. It is a start. I am better. Talk to your doctor about the medication for yeast. I am thin and do tend to eat a diet high in sugar to keep some weight on me and that probably fed it. Don't be discouraged by all the unkind comments. I think it is yeast; it is much like what I was suffering. Good luck. I was also having problems with bumps in my hair. I wash my hair every day. The strange smell was not because I was unclean.

I have the same problem. Right now I am treating with a skin supplement that contains Vitamin A and Zinc and I have started washing my face with an Apple Cider wash. 1 part apple cider and 4 parts water. Plus drinking more water. I am hoping this works since the next step is the doc and I don't have insurance at the moment.

I got the info from this site.

HOLY SHIT....MINE DOES TOO!!!

I know I'm late but I wanted to share some info.
I have had a similar problem before... Turned out it was an immune reaction. Went to my holistic dermatologist, she said that when you over produce sebum (a result of a hyperactive immune response) it basically spoils on your skin, think old cooking oil. She had me start taking a ton of vitamins; a B complex, 2000iu of d, flax (not fish) oil, biotin, zinc and garlic. The garlic made me a bit garlicky for about a week, but apparently garlic has lots of antibacterial qualities without killing the good stuff.
I also put kukui oil on like lotion once a week and cut way way down on my dairy.
Within a week of this my stinky skin was fresh, I could even skip a shower and be OK, my psoriasis had mellowed out and I felt damn good!
Don't forget to drink a ton, ton, ton of water and avoid greasy crap!

You might see if a clay mask helps real quick ...
it freshens skin & clears the pores like a champ.
The dry powdered bentonite clay (in a jar) sold at most health stores is the best. Pre-mixed concotions are stale & too strong even if the other liquid ingredients look ok.
First mix 1 Tbsp. clay with 2 Tbsp. pure water in a small cup, then let it set 2 hours so it ripens & expands.
Next pat the clay onto face, leave it on til it's a dry mask - be patient, maybe an hour - then rinse off gently with cool water. Face will look red for a short time from exfoliation.
Good luck, hope this works for the problem.

I just started experiencing this when I rub my facial hair against the grain. I do smoke so not sure if that is contributing. Something I like to do to clean myself out is drink 1/2 gallon of grapefruit juice in the morning, 1/2 a gallon of apple juice in the afternoon, cup of water with 1/4 cup of epson salt at 6pm, 1 cup of the best olive oil I can find before bed and go to sleep on my right side. Do this for two days while eating nothing. I will also get some astringent to clean the pores from the surface and see how it works.

A derm wouldn't suggest an idea that would cut into their profit, but there are retailers online that sell chemical skin peels.

It's not as bad as it sounds - lactic acid, glycolic acid, mandelic acid or BHAs are used in stronger than OTC levels to cut oil and exfoliate the surface of the skin. The effect can be very mild to a full on deep peel. Peels can help everything from acne and blackheads to pitted scars and reducing wrinkles. It might help what you are describing on your face and scalp, over production of oil and poor cell turnover that leads to blocked pores and follicles.

Another counter intuitive idea is to use oil on your skin. Again, not as bad as it sounds because if you add a bit of oil to your skin it can keep your oil production in check. Some oils are considered to have medicinal properties and help psoriasis, healing, have anti inflammatory effects. Tamanu, rosehip, argan, look up a few types and shop around for a wallet friendly price.


I feel for you, and hope you find something that works!

Does it smell like A1 Steak Sauce?!?!?

Just stop smelling your finger god only knows where it's been

The bad smell of the sebum is usually a fungal infection. Try to use for your scalp but skin as well a shampoo containing selenium sulfide. You can find them in cosmetic version (e.g Elseve from L'Oreal)or pharmaceutical version (Ducray brand - Squanorum or others). Is a misconception that diet has anything to do with acne or beauty of the skin (except, of course, clinical conditions caused by serious deficiency of certain vitamins or minerals). Also do not wash excessively, as this stimulates the sebum production. Check with your doctor also, maybe you have a deficiency of certain vitamins (A, E). Try to take some supplements - fish oil or oenothera biennis oil.
I have a doctoral degree in biology, so my post is very serious.
Good luck!

sounds like a nasty case of ass-face

give up oral sex immediately

and it's spelled, "dermatologist"

seriously though, if your body secretions smell that bad, there is something wrong with your hormones... you are probably very young... it is normal to have excessive body odor when young... especially young guys.

and don't take Accutane... it is one of those drugs that should have never been given to people in the first place

maybe it is just your poor hygiene... shower more than once a week and brush your teeth twice a day.

seriously.. only YOUR FACE smells?

I think you might have decaying teeth that a dentist needs to look at.

good luck, puss-bag.

Don't let your mom sit on your face anymore!

I think it might also be too much MSG. Sometimes when I eat chips with a ton of MSG then my face can get oily and the oil smells cheesy and miff. So as you can imagine I avoid MSG because it is just revolting when your skin (one of the body's main detox organs) tries to expel this substance.

It's gluten and wheat.

Wheat since the 60s is exactly the shit that gives us ALL our problems. That and sugar.

Get rid of sugar.

Get rid of all types of wheat products. No pasta. No pizza. No bread.

Get rid of dairy products (hormone crazed food products).

Bake your own gluten-free bread. It's so simple to make. Google recipes. Or get rice waffles as a secondary option.

Eat lots of things like ginger, avocado, onion, garlic, vegetables in general, spinach, broccoli.

Eat rice.

You will have withdrawal symptoms without the sugar and wheat. Sugar and wheat are actually what cause huge bumps in your bloodsugar levels. That's how we crave for STUFF (cigarettes, booze, whatever). Stop the sugar. Stop the addiction.

I drink freshly squeezed orange juice with a lemon every morning (I squeeze it myself!)

I drink green tea.

I drink black coffee.

I drink water.

I drink wine.

No sugar. EVER.

If you want sweet stuff, eat fruit. Or dried fruit, like half the world's population from Afghanistan to Pakistan to Africa do.

Eat nuts.


Do you think the body gives you an indication that the shit you're putting into it is highly toxic to its system? And if you think it does this, how would you think a body wants to communicate with you? Sending you a text message 'Oh, James, please stop with the processed food'?

No.

It just sends you bodily signals, such as the skin disorder you have.

Change the diet. What have you to lose? You're trying to find an external solution to the problem 'Give me this type of drug, or this type of medicine, or this type of cure'.

The cure is in you. You are the one to create your body. You communicate with and create the cellular structure of your body.

Eat salads. Daily.

Learn to cook properly. Use local produce. Buy organic. Buy from foreign, small-time grocers and not from big supermarkets.

Take responsibility for your life. Change your diet. If you truly give a fuck, you will.

I've been reading a book by Dr. Med. William Davis called 'Wheat Belly. Lose the wheat, lose the weight'.

He details the history... how people in the 40s, 50s, 60s weren't fat (and women did little exercise compared to today) until in the 70s when they came up with the idea for the 'dwarf wheat'. A strain that is now grown all over the world, which is 60-80cm tall. It's the one that's lost all benefits, they stuff it retrospectively with all types of 'vitamins, calcium, etc.'. It's a load of bollocks.

I've stopped eating wheat and I've stopped eating unnatural sugar and my skin is better (I drink and smoke too) and I feel much more refreshed.

Anyways, the ball's in your court. I wish you all the best.

PS:

My mum and my sister both have stopped eating gluten, dairy etc. They are MUCH fitter, my sister eats a few nuts in the morning and is fine for hours. You don't need huge amounts of food any more. Your body is perfectly balanced.

For the record (I posted the above regarding Gluten and Wheat)...

I have stopped using shampoo after a user on GLP talked about it. This was in February 2013. I used to get dandruff, tried all types of shampoos. I use loads of very expensive, handmade type, organic shit, nothing worked. At first I used Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar (used the Baking Soda more often, then used some Apple Cider in between). Didn't work, so I just stopped using anything. Lo and behold. Dandruff gone. My hair is fantastic, it's minimally oily, not bone-powder dry like when you use shampoo (and then have to use a conditioner to get it back up to speed - all the while they are making more $$$)!

I use a natural soap to clean the body called Dudu-Osun. It's a black soap from Nigeria. It is the bomb. It doesn't leave your skin dry either. It's a brilliant soap and I highly recommend it.

What I mean to add is that all types of products we use, whatever they may be, Gluten, Sugar, Shampoos, types of beers/wines we drink, cleaning products we use (especially washing powder - you can get proper skin rashes from all the big name ones like Lenor or whatever).

Just go organic. Buy everything from places that are hand-made or come biologically certified. Trust your instincts.

He who buys cheap, buys twice.

My shaving cream is some handmade stuff, costs 40 Euros for a big bowl, but it last half a year. So you're paying pretty much fuck all for some premium stuff.

Just remember everything matters. All the types of fluids you drink, foods you consume, products you use on and in your body. Everything. Matters.

Only when you start a proper dialogue with your body over an extended period of time do you become one with who you are and individually with what you need.

Take what they feed you or choose yourself wisely. The choice is yours.

Why do some people find the need to post such rubbish such as this! You must be a real idiot!!!

You have worms.



Inside and out. They feed on your organs and skin. If you eat bad, or have had issues with your kidneys and liver (worms in both), it affects the flow of waste products from what you eat through your kidneys and liver to your sebaceous glands which release on the skin and the worms love this waste product that is akin to shit on your skin.

The smell is rotting sulfuric flesh being eaten by worms.

Consider juicing 2 meals a day. Use fresh green veggies of ALL kinds and fruit! To wake up in the morning....no coffer. Juice 2 apples with a nice thicker slice of Ginger root. Skin and all. It will get you going 100% better than coffee and those caffeine shots! If the ginger is to strong for you use a smaller PC and work up to the larger ones.

There are good jucing apps out there for your iPhone and even Android.
Give it 15-30 days and you WILL see results.Also, start using liquid Oil of Oregano that is 100% pure . You will have to dilute it with FIRST COLD PRRSSED VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and use like 8- drops of ( OOO) OIL OF OREGANO . you can use any carrier oil you like as long as its first cold presided. DO NOT BUY THE PILLS!
Also add Olive Leaf Extract 2 pills a day ...these two combos will kill anything! You can also try Raw honey and make a mask for your face daily but make sure you buy it from a local grower....no honey from stores at all!!!
Raw honey is a natural AntiViral , Antibacterial, Anti fungus and Anti (.serhing else) forget.

Go to an herbalist ...one that specializes in Chinese herbs.
Its OK OP. M hubby has something similar with his earlobes . He was in a bad car wreck when he was in his mid 20's and ended up with a lot of glass in his ears and face. Its a good thing he is 6'3 and I'm 5'3 because I wouldn't able to hug him. These are the things I did for him and it helped him so perhaps it will help you as well.
Stay strong!
