Strange Smell
« on: November 05, 2017, 12:44:07 PM »
Hi ladies  :)

I notice when I get up in the morning, my chest area (in between my boobs!) smells! It is not a sweaty or BO smell. It just smells horrible!  It's not every morning but I presume it's related to night flushes.

Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal?!!

Thanks all xx

My friend had this - it was a fungal infection easily sorted by an antifungal cream from the GP.

Hope that helps!

Morning!

I decided to come off the type of HRT I was taking & the smell has gone!! I was hoping to try another type but now not so sure. Whilst taking femoston, I also experienced a horrible taste in my mouth. That's gone too.

I'm about nervous now about trying another type of HRT.

What is gals have to put up with!!!  ;)
