Hello,

Usual reasons for sweet smell pertain to sugar level fluctuation, but the breast tissue can smell from the milky discharge of nipple if it is associated with the same, but if not the rest of the reasons have to be evaluated with sweat chloride test and other supportive data.

There are documented cases with local regional glands disturbances giving a variety of smell to the particular regions of the body only. Though rare, they do exist on the globe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
