I know this may be odd, but over the past few months my left hand will just randomly smell like poop. i can't explain why when i know i haven't touched anything that should smell like poop. once i wash my hands, the smell goes away, but it's odd?

: It has to do likely with a bracelet or wrist watch that might have gotten oxidized or moldy, it is unlikely that the smell is coming from your hand, but rather an object close enough.
