Hair smelling weird?

A minor issue, I know, but my hair seems to smell weird these days - no matter how often I wash it with sweet-smelling products it smells a bit (to me at least) like a wet dog, even when my head hasn't been perspiring much. Could this be a side-effect of the Prednisolone?

I've had this at times but it was very occasional - I'd notice it one day and I would realise a couple of days later it had gone. It might be an idea to use T-Gel shampoo or something similar?

Thanks, Polkadot. I have never had this before and have become very aware of it since starting on the Pred.

I was aware of BO in the early stages of PMR - a BO that seemed worse when using deodorants. I would shower and go to the gym and by the time I'd finished a class I stank, no other word for it! But i've never noticed my hair smelling.

Thanks, PMRpro. I haven't been aware of any body odour - but then it is my head that sweats more than anywhere else so maybe that's just it - sweaty head!
