I’m dealing with a hygiene concern and could really use some advice.

I wash the area regularly (including after using the bathroom) and avoid using scented products directly there. My diet is fairly balanced with not much junk food. Still, there’s a strong, unpleasant odor that I don’t understand.

My boyfriend mentioned it smells “pungent,” and I feel really embarrassed and worried about it. I’m on the heavier side and have more folds in that area, so I’m wondering if sweat or moisture buildup could be contributing.

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might be causing this? What should I do?

Any advice will be much appreciated
