Does herpes smell?

I contracted hsv2 almost a year ago.... ever since I have showed symptoms of this disease my genital region has smelled very foul. I don't recall ever smelling this bad before contacting hsv2. Even after I take a shower somthing just doesnt smell right. I am a male.

I have had few outbreaks but even after it heals and my skin goes back to normal. My genitals and the region still stink like the hsv2 is oozing thru my pores making me stink? I never smelled like this before contracting this disease

Hi, herpes can smell if it develops into an infection. only infections smell or bacteria from not bathing.
