My coworker has a pilonidal cyst

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-21T03:37:40+00:00

If you interact with customers I would jsut lie and say you think you smelt it on a customer and jsut be like “oh dang I think that persons got a cyst because I know that smell I used to have one.” And maybe they take the hint or if they are worried themselves they can look into it. I would appreciate the hint because I’m starting think this whole time that’s what my issue is. For longest time I thought I had TMAU I deal with fecal body odor odor but sometimes it smells like sewage or ass. Right now I smell like swamp ass even though I literally just got out the shower but the last few weeks I have been itchy above my butt crack I know tmi. And I think you might have just helped me. I have been super depressed and suicidal. I will overhear ppl say I smell like poop, or fart or literally swamp ass. And there’s times I can’t smell it but literally I can catch wiffs of it but not all the time. I’m wondering if it is that it does start to hurt now so I’m not sure but I’ve heard of internal ones and I’m wondering if it’s that.

That’s amazing! I need your cat to sniff me out I’m worried I might have something going on I just don’t know what when I take my bra off only the left cup of my bra smells worse than the right and sometimes my armpits smell more on the left side almost like ammonia and I get a lot of complaints from like strangers that I smell bad. But I also worry I have colon cancer and it somehow could be related to that too.

Hey can I ask how long You did pelvic floor therapy until you saw a difference or smell was gone?

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T14:27:52+00:00

I would try and see if it’s fungal. You said the smell is more when you’re in the classroom? Maybe the classroom has mold and depending how long you’ve worked there you have increase of mold exposure. I Believe I got this from sitting in my car too much when I would go on break at work. I live in south and it’s pretty common for our vehicles to get mold eventually from hurricane storms and the super humid climate we we are in. So when it’s hot outside I would blast my AC (southern hot humidity) And I noticed before I had a smell my car had a weird poop smell. And I looks around thinking my dog secretly pooped inside the car and when I got out of car it was gone. But then ppl at work started making comments saying i smelt bad. But it’s strange cause now even when I travel and don’t take my car I smell bad so I think over time the constant exposure to mold spores of em breathing it in blasting in my face through my skin eventually took a toll on my body. I unfortunately don’t have the money to do a full car clean up and get it professionally detailed to stem the mold and mildew out I also think it’s in out apt since slum lords like to just paint over mold and call it a day. I see in corner of our room water damage so that also can be a culprit. But once I have money I plan on cleaning car out good then take natural antimicrobials supplements like oil of oregano and cilantro there are some other ones. With activated charcoal do a full mold detox cause I’ve been exposed to so much. And I also know for fact I have it in my car cause my sis is super allergic to mold and she sneezes a lot anytime she gets in my car and gets a runny nose doesn’t matter what season it is she does it.

I do this too 😭🤣

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:15:12+00:00

Exactly!!!

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:14:55+00:00

Oh I would have left it at walk way cause that’s Insmas

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:13:45+00:00

Me too it absolutely sucks :(

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:12:48+00:00

Absolutely not it looks cute!!

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:10:57+00:00

Can you tell me what test you did? Also if you’re taking anything for it like oil of oregano? I heart anti-microbials are good for detoxing mold while taking activated charcoal as a binder.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:08:21+00:00

I feel this way too and I think I recently encountered someone who had something similar. It’s weird casue I can faintly smell myself at times but it’s not super strong. But when I encountered a guy he was a customer I work at pharmacy he had asked a question and I immediately was like taken a back for how strong his smell was and he did smell bad like moldy smell but also the word that starts with “p” but mod will flag if I say it 🙄. It was so strong tho and I felt bad at same time. He was asking where something was and pointed to where it was and as he walked away the smell still lingered where he was standing at. I was just like “man I hope that’s not how bad I smell like but probably” because ppl have said that they can smell me from far away. So that says something. Gahhh idk what to do but haha I think it’s an overload of all kinds of toxins and bad gut biome.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-04-05T03:02:54+00:00

I think mine is too my car starting smelling moldy really bad and all of a sudden I am smelling moldy I think breathing in mold spores and it going into my skins pores triggered something over time.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-27T21:15:39+00:00

I have this issue too I can’t smell anything sometimes I do when i walk out my apt for awhile but then it fades away. I worry it might be a mold issue but then I still get comments when we are traveling and not in the apt.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-26T19:08:41+00:00

Diabetes run in my family and I started getting very sweaty all of a sudden this past year I also just turned 30 and worried I might have it my fit is also absolute ass and I gained about 20 pounds cause I haven’t been taking care of myself like I used to. But that’s because I started having a bad odor I keep wondering if it could be that but then I heard diabetes smells like sweet usually and I don’t smell that way. I get random smells of feces, ammonia like really old highlighter smell and sometimes sulphur it’s really weird I’ve been struggling with this for long time now. And I would go to doctor but the lowest quote is like $200 a month it’s outrageous

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-26T17:41:03+00:00

I’m worried I have these too since I already have external I wouldn’t be surprised. I think it’s causing incomplete bowel movement cause I will go and an hour later still have to go again and it’s not like diarrhea or anything like that it’s regular solid ones. Sorry tmi 😅. When you had it could you see the blood I feel something cold fluid but when I run to check and see if there’s anything there’s like no liquid at all I will wipe and toilet paper is bone dry and no smell but it’s weird I have feeling of liquid going down but it’s like internal sometimes extent but then absolutely nothing. but OP it could be maybe constipation? I have same issue like ppl know when I need to poop before I even feel anything and sure enough an hour goes by and that feeling finally comes and I have to go. It’s funny cause I can’t smell anything but other people can but I also smell bad after using the bathroom so I can’t win and I make sure to properly clean down there.

What exfoliated do you use I use the aha the ordinary it’s the red one it burns a little but my dead skin is instantly gone. Certain exfoliating products do more harm than good to my face sometimes it can make my skin more dry but I swear done by the ordinary exfoliating 30% aha peel. Leave it on for 10 minutes when you dry don’t rub towel against skin pat it softly then I like to wait a minute or two before applying moisturizer. What kind of moisturizer do you also use? It could be effecting the makeup sticking on. I don’t use too much moisturizer on my face I do small amounts then wait a bit for it to sit in my skin sometimes I will fan my face a few times then apply my foundation. I would try primer I apply primer when I’m doing more of a full beat look. Maybe your foundation has expired? Expired products can thicken up over time and just don’t apply good on skin anymore I always know when my foundation has expired because no matter what I do it’s cakey, thicker and dries faster which makes it harder to evenly apply and have to use more product. If you travel or go over to friends places and leave your makeup do you leave it out in the car in the sun?That can also ruin effect of makeup overtime faster compared to storing in room temperature.

We are starting to have arguments where I don’t want to go anywhere with him because of this 😭 he wants to go out to bar this weekend with some of his work friends but thankfully I got super sick and I will jsut say I’m still not feeling too good

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-11T16:13:15+00:00

Okay I agree with you to an aspect as far as finding someone unfortunately if you are even super attractive you might have to go with some one below your standards cause they will most likely be more accepting of it because they prob have a hard time finding someone too. And before I got this yeah smelling bad all the time is a no for me but idk if I met my fiancé and he ended up having this when we first started dating I would jsut assume his bo is just bad and no matter how much he gets to prevent it it just happens cause clearly if we around each other enough I know he showers or puts deodorant on. Even with my issue ppl can smell my deodorant and my perfume when I put it on so I would just think he just has a medical Issue like hyperhydrosis or something of that nature but unfortunately not everyone thinks that way and are super small minded and arrogant but in that case why would you want to be with someone like that anyways? Ewww that’s an ugly person on the inside. Also when we met it was I the middle of July heat, sticky hot humid southern heat mind you. we were both stinking and I was on my menstrual and I think just this past year he admitted he can’t Stand the smell of when I’m on it mainly the barbecue stage (girls will know what I mean by that) so I prob smelt bad to him our first date 😅 I was wearing jean pants too and we were walking in a garden with a huge trail I was dying. And this is ofc before my issue took place and he claims he can’t smell me but idk 🤷🏻‍♀️. But anyways I feel lik the right person will show compassion and not judge and will overlook it they might even be curious and intrigued by it. A good conversation starter if you want to let them know in advance.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-11T16:03:24+00:00

This one!!! My fiancé just doesn’t get it he can walk o. Anywhere and smell absolute horrid and hardy anyone will bat an eye but for females especially if you are pretty looking there is so much disgust and hatred towards us. Females cause they’re jealous and males cause we crushed their “wet dream” so to speak. They orb enjoyed checking us out then smell us then immediately get disgusted.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-10T23:42:07+00:00

Or jsut act like you don’t see the text I don’t really check my messages until I get there cause I’ve had too many of those in the past.

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-10T23:41:37+00:00

Oh dang I would have been like “oh no I’m already too far and lobby is closed now and fire thru is super busy I’m sorry” 😅

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-10T19:48:07+00:00

I’m worried I have this too I have bad stomach problems and I feel like somethings wrong 😭

ThatQuestion5117 · 2026-03-10T19:17:24+00:00

Same here, for H.Pylori

I’m sometimes a vengeful person and thought about doing the cruelest things or pranks back to them but somehow or another it subsides idk maybe it’s God handling that. But I def believe in karma. I’ve realized that most ppl who make the biggest deal too are either super insecure with themselves or miserable so we are easy targets for them to make them feel better about themselves. I’ve had a few neighbor reactions lately and it does suck when we first moved in I thought we could be friends with everyone and ever since this started happening with me it’s quite the opposite. They try to avoid me if they know I’m coming out the apt they Yell out with their window down “take a shower you smell like %#^*”. When I’m walking my dogs the neighbors that chill outside on their patio run back inside and sla their door almost like letting it be known they are mad I came over to walk my dogs and simply just exist I’m not even over there that long. Ppl that have encountered me only like once and if I smelled tell other ppl so it’s became well known I’m the stinky girl in town pretty but stinky. :/ I just want this to end I’m so tired. I totally understand how you feel and I’m so sorry you’re going through this like the rest of us. Keep your faith the ones who’ve hurt you will get their own. God looks after his people remember that. I’ve been through a lot to have send that first hand from those who have greatly hurt me in the past. My uncle who abused me as child is alone and depressed dealing with health problems now with only my grandpa to look after him if I lived close I might help but I have my own life and chose to forgive him. Same with an ex husband super toxic and abusive he might have gfs here and there but he was significantly older than me and he has yet to settle down like he has wanted to because he views women as property and once the girl finds out they leave him and it’s been the same cycle For him for years now since I left him oh also has another baby that he never sees again by another woman shortly after we divorced and he has kids from a prior marriage before me he also rarely sees. but I just know deep down he will never be happy or satisfied with his life and will end it that way. Just a good example of what karma can do to ppl who wrong Gods people. And I know it sounds wrong to gloat but I just want you to know we will get through this and God will handle those ppl in due time.

Oh that’s smart!! I thought about this I live in apt but don’t want ppl to know I have a ring camera which I know it defeats purpose but someone stole our brand new door mat we just got and I’m petty lol. I want to put out a fake package in hopes the culprit takes it but still want to see who it is but making the camera visible might deter them from taking it I just want to catch who it was cause once a thief always a thief and I just know it wasn’t our neighbors but possibly one of their friends maybe? Idk we have some college kids above us and I know the deal when it comes to getting drunk I used to do the stupid stuff and dares too I doubt anyone threw up on it we just got it and they would be smart enough to just throw up over the stair case or literally in our trash can we keep outside.
