I started noticing about a year ago that my left ring finger is "smelly" in between the tip of the nail and the skin right underneath. I can't really smell it when I sniff the finger tip, but when I pull the tip of the finger down away from the nail so that the space in between is exposed, I can definely smell something funky. No other finger does this.
Is this just some sort of infection? I tried cleaning the space underneath with some isopropanol 99% with some tissues and a toothpick, tried dipping the finger in isopropanol, etc., but doesn't help.
Perhaps this finger is connected to some vital organ and that this is some sort of indication of an organ problem?

doesn't sound like a concern at the moment, I would see a doctor if the nail changes characters, you notice a swelling or a discharge etc, good luck
