Is it normal that my vag smells strongly like corn chips?

I’ve always had an issue with my vaginal odor since I was a prepubescent kid, my mom never really taught me the basics so I taught myself over time (it took quite some time but I got it in the bag now.) I never learned to wash my neck until I was 14-15, yeah it’s that terrible. But my vagina always had a strong musty odor (even if I did scrub myself from head to toe), now it smells like corn chips, I can’t lead a decent life anymore. It’s affecting everything and just standing up leads to me walking past a bunch of people with the smell of Doritos trailing behind me, needless to say I stink. What could this be? Why is it happening? And how could I fix it?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I've only smelled feet that eventually get like that from weeks of not washing socks and wearing boots all day.

      Nah, its not my feet. Its my vag, im certain because when i sit criss cross or open my legs wide i smell corn chip therefore i refrain from sitting in positions that require opened legs

    I dont know it could be anything from your diet to some disease, if it worries you so much see a gynecologist.
    You could also try changing your underwear more often, clean your vag more often (with water or special soap) and stay hydrated.

      This never happened before but i will say the smell changes frequently, from corn chips to bleach and everything in between that's typically not pleasant smelling. It doesn't help that i sweat profusely so its really strong, i hate having to be near people. I feel bad for them having to smell me.

        If it never happened before it could be an STI. Thats probably what it is in my opinion. Thats what it sounds like. Its not as big of a deal as people make it. You go to the doctor they give you a shot of penicillin and it goes away in a week.

          I’m not sexually active, nor am I particularly close to anyone who is. There is no way for it to be an STI. Probably an infection since it only smells that way when I wear tampons. I stopped wearing tampons and it went away-

    Idk if doritos is a normal smell, if you can smell it without smelling it that's kind of sus. Drink lots of water, eat healthy, wear cotton underwear and don't put anything in there, no soap, only water.

          Nope, it’s the tampons. I used to use pads but this month I had a cut around my vulva and mixed with menstrual blood that wouldn’t be pretty. I used tampons so I wouldn’t feel the burning and discomfort of the blood but it only made it worse by giving me a Doritos kinda smell. I stopped using tampons and it went away in like 3 days.
