I’ll usually first notice it sometime in the afternoon, a stale, rubbery, maybe sour smell on my hands, especially the fingertips. Like a weak version of the smell that develops after wearing rubber gloves, even though I hadn’t touched gloves all day. Quite annoying and makes me want to grit my teeth. Washes off with soap and water 9 times out of 10, but I’m also not bothered enough to do anything about it until I bundle it with a trip to the restrooms. I’ve never been able to trace down the source and it’s been that way through school, work, and since at least 10 years ago in general. Anyone else experience this or know what might cause it?
See if something is getting onto your fingertips when you touch other parts of your skin, like on your face.
