- Q: So i have zero gauge spacers in and ive had them in for a few years now. I know it seems like a strange question but why do they smell? They smell sour. My fiance has spacers and they smell as well. some of my friends have them as well and when i asked them if theirs smell they all said yes. We all call it ear cheese. So im assuming its normal. I clean them every time i shower so i know its not dirty. Some people think its sweat, some say dead skin cells but no one really seems to know the answer. Do you?
- A: I believe it's from the build up of dead skin cells. All ear holes, even just regular earrings, have that smell, but washing them regularly helps.

Cleaning regularly helps a lot, but don't overclean or you'll do more harm than good.Everyone with stretched ears has this smell to some degree or another.

- Q: I keep reading that having plugs smell, but why would this be the case when normal earrings don't. Is this an old wives tale?
- A: My ears are gauged to a 4 and they smell so bad when I take the plugs out. It isn't an unbearable smell, but it's not one you want to have around all the time. Luckily it's not there all the time because it just smells bad when they're out. Sometimes cleaning works, sometimes not.
