I got nipple piercing four months ago. I
clean them on a regular basis with
anti-bacterial soap. The left one is
giving out a wierd odour...It does not
look infected it is not inflamed or
anything what might this be?
thank you

Yes, it is "normal" like "the_girlfriend"
had said but, you asked "What is it,"
right?! All it is are the dead skin cells
inside the piercing, itself; it they
aren't cleaned all the time, or depending
on what your every day activities consist
of, them along with built-up sweat will
cause a "funk," very similar to "ear
cheese" with stretched earlobe piercings,
or even worse "fromunda cheese" from when
a guy doesn't wash his balls thoroughly.
It's all the same stuff -- nothing to
worry about -- just keep them clean, or it
can fester into an infectious wound.

yep or sea salt works too
however the nipples are different then
they nose
so its definately more sensitive and soap
may irritate them more
