Question: Hi Dr , my nose smells when am in the sun , really really hungry and expose to wind , yet I wish my nose , inside and outside daily and I felt uncomfortable been round people . What should I do ,
Brief Answer:
Please, has anyone ever complained about this?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this feeling that you have. I would like to know if anyone has ever mentioned to you that the scent and abnormal odor when with you in the sun? If the answer is no, then the problem is you thinking and believing that there is something abnormal with your nostril. This can be a very troubling thought and interferes with your daily functioning and interaction with persons affecting both your professional, social and personal life.
In all, tell me if persons have ever complained about this before as it is very unlikely to be a common observation. If not, then you would need to be trained on how to ignore troubling and unreal thoughts.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Get back to me with the response and let me know whether there are more concerns related to this that you would like us to address at this time.

Yes , they complained and make fun of me , at time they move away from me, some cover their nose , but when indoor no smell.
Brief Answer:
This is very unlikely!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up information.
Though this still remains very unlikely, I will suggest that you get your nose examined by an ENT specialist. I will also advice that you try being around neutral persons who you think have no idea of this reported problem and see whether their reaction is same. There is nothing under the sun that would cause such an odor. Then, also try being indoors with the same persons to see if there would be a change in their attitude.
I hope this helps. Give me your findings as soon as you get them. I wish you well.
