Hello,
Bar odour may be due to Infection or abscess or sinus formation or tenia etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it. Please consult your physician/dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
