Pungent smell when scratching cheek

2023-04-25 19:17:43
I have oily skin. And sometimes when I scratch my cheek, especially when there is light or a bit heavy beard there is a bad pungent smell that gets off from the skin. Should I be using any specific kind of skin cream or facewash on a daily basis. Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Kindly suggest any OTC products if possible. Thanks.
