Odor around clit ?!

this is kinda embarrassing for me to talk about but I'm 14 years old & have noticed a foul odor around my clit. It's not in the vagina , just around the clit. I have struggled with it for months. Some of my close friends don't have this problem at all. I want to know how to get rid of asap cause it's embarasaing , please help.

Well, the folds of that area can trap discharge and bacteria, etc. and cause an odor.  You can try this, take a bit of antibacterial hand soap and wash in those folds.  Just do it once (and never wash like that inside your vagina or douche as that causes all sorts of issues and is not recommended) but a little antibacterial soap should wash out the offending matter causing the odor.  good luck

Does it matter if it has a scent or not ?
not sure it fully matters but as a general rule, unscented is usually more gentle no matter the product.
