What Causes Bad Odor Around The Head Of Penis?
neither i nor my boyfriend have an STI but he has a strong fish smell around the head of his penis even after washing well. Due to this i have now started to smell the same on the inside of my outer labia. I have no discharge and no smell coming from inside the vagina. What could it be?

Hello,
It could be a smegma which is nothing but an infective material collected at the glans(head) penis.
Poor personal hygiene will be the common cause for developing smegma. As a first line management you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
