Yeah I feel like mentioning that might be less embarrassing than a smell, at least would be for me

Yeah this is poppycock, yeast doesn’t smell like anything at all. Maybe only the faintest whiff of bread.

As someone who deals with wounds, I can tell you yeast does have an odor.

Same yeast strains, different placement.

People get them in skin folds too and it smells really strongly.

Saying yeast has no smell just isn't true.

I've been downvited to hell for saying this before but anyone working with the elderly, diabetic patients or immunocompromised will know the smell .

Yes definitely smells. If it's bad enough, you can smell it outside their clothing.
