At the end of the day, when I rub the back of my ears, my fingers will smell like parmesan cheese (with a hint of lemon). Do other people have this issue? I figured that they did, but my mom insists that they don't. Is it normal?
Yes I have that parmesan cheese smell behind my left ear now I know I'm not weird.
It took me a minute to figure out it has to do with PH balance, and that using STICK DEODORANT helps. But have to do it daily, treating behind ears like armpits.
I get that to even though I scrub my face and head every day with a clean face cloth and soap. I hit it with green rubbing alcohol some times and that helps. Keep a little bottle next to the bed. Dont be afraid of a little cologne or purfume. Just dont go crazy like Grandpa used to...wait....I am older than Grandpa was....that happens alot...I say....that person is old and then...they are 4 years younger than I am.
I have it also, so hears lol what to do after your shower dry behind your ears and apply secret deodorant it dry's clear and stops the funk .And I work in construction in Florida and if it works here it will work anywhere
The scent can be temporarily removed by rubbing hand sanitizer behind your ears, it will be gone for two days or so, continue doing it and the problem will be eradicated.
2 years ago I ended up cutting my hair because my ears smell like cheese. unfortunately, after cutting 5 years of growth, as a dude, I realized my ears still smell like the underside of my nutsack. I'm growing my hair again now, but trying to offset my ear-stink by growing my pubes too7
its normal, dont put deodorant there! Behind your ears is one of the places where your pheromones are secreted. The places are ears, neck, armpits, genitals. Pheromones are crucial to attract a mate, they are analysed by the other person's brain subconsciously and contain information about your blood type and immune system. Without it, no one can fall in love with you.
Put deodorant behind there and wash it then you'll be fine mine has never smelled like that
I was having the same problem with a foul odor behind my ears. My sister, a Holistic Health Care Provider, told me that it may be a side effect of Candida. She also educated me on the subject of good bacteria and "bad bacteria" in our stomach/intestinal tract. They get out of balance and Candida "bad bacteria" goes crazy. She said I should try a probiotic to balance out the bacteria. I started eating a serving of just yogurt (instead of the probiotic) a day and after five days, no more odor behind my ears....yippee! She told me to keep eating it for 60- - 90 days to make sure the bacteria balance was in check. After years of this problem, just eating yogurt once a day cured it! Amazing. I hope this helps some of you with this problem. I know it did help me as it is the only thing that I am currently doing differently.
you should clean the back of your ears ^^. i have a rule: if it exists...clean it
It happens to a lot of people.
Candida is a yeast that makes a cheesy or yeasty smell in areas that have cracks or folds like belly buttons and ear holes . not sure if its the same as the kind that makes feet smell that way

try cleaning your ears with soloution of 1/2 peroxide and 1/2 water and just swab once or twice a day. I have a heavy natural musk around my neck and ears despite showering daily so I swab with peroxide and after rub a drop of diluted tea tree oil back there. it naturally keeps bacteria and yeasts at bay and tingles nicely so I dont have to worry about it until the next day. (this also made the cheesey smell go away in my DOGS ears forever after one week) just make sure to like 1/2 dilute it with some olive oil or any other oil. its strong and can irritate skin.

mine also smell like parmesan cheese.. but i don't know why is that so... emm.. any facts about that?
Yes, I believe it's normal. My ears smell like parmesan cheese too. Yuck!!
While I can't attribute the smell to cheese, I notice that my gauges do have an "odor" to them. Do you have piercings? Well keep um clean!
Behind my ears have never stunk that I know of. Then again, I don't make a regular habit of sniffing what's behind there anyways. Never really had to, because like I said, it's never stunk.
Wash up and I'm sure you'll be fine.
