Hi. I had 4 8G CBR’s in my scrotum done last month. Everything went fine and they are healing nicely. The problem is that there is a distinct bad odor coming from the piercings. It’s not “weeping” or anything. I first noticed it when it was still bleeding. Did I somehow get a scent gland pierced or something like that? I’d like to know if I’m stuck with this or if it will go away in awhile. Thanks!

Unfortunately my knowledge of human anatomy fails me when it comes to scrotal scent glands..
There could be a number a reasons your piercings have a foul odour:
The first would simply be personal hygiene. Balls hang out between sweaty thighs and in between a bumhole and a urethra all day. They often don’t smell very nice, but a nice shower with soap and water in all the surrounding areas usually does the trick.

Secondly, large gauge piercings create a larger surface area and, like stretched earlobes, can get what we so affectionately dub “cheesy”. That discharge and foul odour is literally a by-product of staph bacteria. It STINKS. You can rid yourself of it a few ways.
-Again with the personal hygiene. Have a shower, wash that! Rinse the piercing out with clean, warm water. When the piercings are healed enough that you can introduce a mild soap, that’ll be nice too.
-Wear implant grade jewelry. If you have a piece of tin “surgical steel” or mystery titanium CBR in there, your body is going to have all kinds of tissue stuck in the poor finish and it’s going to be fighting the foreign object. This will cause more smelly secretions and tissue decay.

Keeping the surrounding area and the actual piercing site fresh and clean should keep the problem under control.
