Hands Have Funny Odor, Drying And Are Sweaty After Using A Tanning Lotion. What Is Going On?
I ve noticed lately that my hands have a funny odor. It reminds me of the smell of fake tanning lotion (which I do not use). I don t have dry hands or excessively sweaty palms. And I wash my hands appropriately (i.e. not too much, but when needed). I can smell it through the day. It is not my imagination because my husband can smell it too when I put my hands up to his nose . Any ideas what this could be?

Hi,
You are right.
You are having unusual odour on palms.
I think , It is most probably due to reaction of sweat with the bacteria on your palms.
Take a short course of antibiotics.
Apply and rub antibiotic cream on palms.
Wash the hands in dettol containing water.
Rule out DM,HIV, anaemia,renal diseases and other internal diseases by investigations.
Thanks.
I hope you got my answer.
