A member asked:

My chest and neck has a strong odor that ranges from chemical smelling to sour and almost burns my nose. it comes at random and leaves at random. it could last a day, or even several months. no matter how much i wash it doesn't go away. please help?

I assume sweating isn't an issue. If it is, use a strong antiperspirant. Sometimes it's the clothing that causes odors. Keep your clothes clean. Do certain foods or drinks play a role? Get a medical check up with complete metabolic lab panel.
