Is it normal that piercings and under toenails smell like cheetos?

Really I've had a few people tell me is normal other people don't. Does anybody else has this???

    All my piercings get that kind of smell too and I've always kept them clean. I think it's just dead skin and what not that makes it smell funky.
    Same with belly-buttons.

    Not sure about them smelling like cheetos but it's just the smell of dead skin.

    See a doctor immediately. The longer you put off getting treatment the worse it could become!

    When I got my septum pierced, I could NOT bear the smell of it. I wasn't cheetos though, it was something else. But after a few weeks the smell stopped. And... I guess I haven't really gotten a good whiff under my toenails...

    Yeah me too. I have my eyebrow, lip, ears and check and the are always clean. I just wondered why the smell like cheeyos sometimes.

    Piercings smelll horribleee, I have my septum, lip, gauges & the side of my nose. All of which I keep very clean. But they definitely dont smell like anything pleasant.
