May be normal: A sour or musky smell is simply a heavier version of your vagina's scent caused by potentially getting hot and sweating . You may watch and wait. If there is no itching and no swelling you may address it through regular feminine hygiene practice. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Visit your doctor!: Both of the previous doctors have some good suggestions. Optimize your pelvic care while awaiting your visit for your physician for diagnosis. Examination must be performed for a specific cause of the discharge. You must be evaluated for sexually transmitted infections.
