The master bath's faucets, both sink and shower start with a rotten egg smell then the smell dissipates after it runs for a minute or two.  Our other bathrooms and kitchen seem fine.  We use city water, and not a well.  I've found online that it might be in the pipes, but I can't find how to actually fix the problem!

Hi Tx... 
 
A rotten egg smell is usually associated with well water or a water heater that has developed a bacterial infestation... 
 
Please wait until morning and then run the hot water at the sink farthest from the water heater... let it run for a few minutes.   Let us know if you smell the rotten egg smell there... OK?
