Suggest Remedy For Foul Smell On The Sides Of The Nose
Hello doctor, I am curious about the smell the sides of my nose gives off. Even if I shower I can still smell it after a few hours. It especially becomes pungent when I eat pizza or greasy pasta. I wash my face with a regular blackhead daily face wash but the smell is still there. Any ideas on what the root cause is? Greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection in the nose which probably cause the foul smell. I suggest to use saline nasal spray for local application.If the symptoms continue, you should see an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
