Any clues?

Are you sure about that? Even if it smelled, you probably wouldn't smell it yourself. Or do other people say it to you?

Nah I smelled it at first and then did a swipe of the finger to test.

The aroma is pretty pungent.
I'll probably have to see a clinician on this one to determine the possible infection.

.. And it won't go away. It smells kind of like a strong gouda cheese.

Could it be an infection?

What would you guys recommend to solve this issue?

It's probably SMEGMA/Ear Cheese. Spoilered for those with soft stomachs:
Smegma is a harmless combination of oils, skin cells, sweat and other fluids that accumulate around your genitals. It looks like crumbly cheese and usually has a foul odor. The best way to prevent and treat smegma is to regularly wash your genitals and the surrounding areas with soap and clean water.

Ear Cheese which is basically the same thing really Also, smells could always be a sign of infection as well and it wouldn't hurt to seek a doctor's opinion if it continues.

Might be a topical staph infection. Go see a doc, don't rub on your body after being outside without washing hands thoroughly.

Wash hands as soon as you come home, step 1 to personal hygiene, thought we all learned this during the pandemic.. :p
 
These are the types of threads you have to post to get almost 15,000 messages on Gaf, and a shit ton more, almost 40,000 reactions 🤦‍♂️. Close to as bad as the soft core porn BS that makes up Facebook Reels.

Edit - Also wash your shit, you dirty fuck 😂
