Common Questions and Answers about Oily skin smell

Hello,
I have always had this issue since i was a teen. I have oily skin (scalp, face, arms, shoulders, chest, legs) and for some reason it gives off an odor, it's not B.O., it's kind of an oily odor. My issue is this odor gets into everything, clothes, bed, carpet and I can't get rid of the smell. I've used odor killers and carpet cleaners and nothing seems to work. It's embarassing when I have people over because of the smell.
every time being on a sun my skin start smell bad right away.it doesnt matter summer or winter, and wnen i touching my skin i feel its very hot and i feel like im baking.even if i use sun blocker.maybe this is cancer or something else? i used 2 work a lot outside about 5 years and after 2 years it happened my skin start smell bad and even hair on my head.so what is it?
Since then, my face started to smell very bad, when i rub on the sides of my face and smell it, it smells triabble. A lot of times when i rub my skin a bit hard, a white puss comes out ( not a lot) of some specific areas ( the white thing is the same as when you squeeze a regular acne) but it sometimes the white thing seems to be dry!
i still have deep scars (holes) in my face because of the acne. and it seems that my some of these holes has gotten a little bigger than before.
My husband, 59, has oily hair and it has a odor that I call "old man smell". His hair has always been oily, but it seems in the last few years it has really become a real oil slick. The smell has also been noticed in the last couple of years. Shampoos don't do a thing. He can wash his hair and I can still smell the odor and the grease will return almost right away. What is causing this and what can he do?
My 9 yr old Shih Tzu has very oily skin and scratches several times a day. She was a puppy mill mama that I rescued 1.5 yrs ago. She is on a raw diet and is at a healthy weight. I have ruled out Seborrhea as she does not stink at all. It seems to be worse when she's been outside. I heard about airborne allergies from grass, weeds, etc., and suspect that might be her issue. Thoughts or advice anyone?
My 11 year old in the last year or 2 has developed smelly scalp. No one else in the family has it and the children and I often share hair brushes so it does not seem contagious. I had grandma double check but no one else's head stinks and my younger kids actually smell really good.
During the summer when she swims in a clorinated pool and washes her hair every day the smell subsides. Which makes me think it is fungal or oil.
Is it...I know this is a stupid question but..is it really oily? I was going to pick some up, but I don't want my skin to be oily all the time. Does it absorb quickly? That's my main thing, I want to combat stretch marks but not be oily or greasy.
The article highlights foods that make your skin oily, and the foods on the list are the same ones that many patmers say you should cut out of their diet. https://www.mdacne.com/article/foods-that-make-your-skin-oily . This is such an important revelation and i could believe it when i first saw the article.
I sweat alot and when I do, it seems to smell like I have wet my pants. It is an all over smell. It is very embrassing problem because my smell senses aren't that great. I don't realize it until someone makes a remark. To be honest, I'm really not sure if it is just an amonia smell. I take a shower in the morning before I go to work and at night when I get home. I use Mitchem deodarant and shower to shower bath powders. But I still get ugly looks and bad comments.
Second baby was a boy. Had no greasy hair nor oily skin. My third was a boy and had no greasy hair nor oily skin. Im thinking im having a girl because her hormones and mine are raging. I feel so ugly. Ive never had greasy hair nor oily skin or acne when I was a teenager or pregnant except with my first girl. I dont know what to use. My face is sensitive already so I use minimal product. I also usually have beautiful natural skin so I dont use makeup except a little bronze.
Mine was totally fine until I started my third trimester....now it's extremely oily and I have patches of flaky skin that are raw red itchy and very oily....does anyone have some clue as to what causes this and what will make it go away!!??
What can i use for oily skin & some.breakouts..
I'm having a boy and the same thing happens to me. My cheeks and t zone are dry but my nose is oily. I use the gel lotion from clinique because it's really lightweight or just put lotion on the dry spots. Have you tried a less harsh cleanser?
ve heard rumors that some of the creams/lotions for KP tend to smell very offensive or are so oily that they rub off on bedsheets or clothing. The retinoid sounds like a good idea (and yes, I'm very good about sunscreen). Do the other product ingredients you suggest have any smell or tactile qualities like I've heard of above?
