Seems like a good idea, but what I've been doing doing for about a year is when I attempt to clean it, simply waiting till I have to take a piss. then when I do, I simply squeeze the foreskin closed at the end, the pressure helps loosen the smegma, and most of it gets washed out

Hey, I'm 15, 16 this year and I have the exact same problem! I had a shower today, I knew of smegma but this seemed different but maybe it wasn't.. Everytime I shower 9 times out of 10 I pull my foreskin back and run it under the shower for a while.. at first it hurts of course, but I can deal with it and it eases off for a while after its ran under the water.. Before when I've saw smegma, it normally just washes off but this time, it wouldn't come off!? To the point where I thought it was dried cum as stupid as it may sound lmaoo.. baring in mind I'm new to most of this stuff so hear me out! I've started to masturbate a lot recently, especially since meeting this girl and we sext on occasions, I've gotta be honest. But it's got to the point where it doesn't really satisfy me anymore so I'm exploring I guess.. Lmao I think I'm ready to have sex!? If you know what I mean.. but yeah, this has really helped a lot, I can't thank you enough and to know it's normal is somewhat of a nice feeling Lmao.. but yeah, today was a new experience and I didn't quite know what to do.. I ran it under the shower for quite a while and it just wasn't going! It's quite difficult as some of my foreskin is still attached but I can still get it back behind the head.. only when it's flacid though.. I'll try these tips on stretching my foreskin etc and hopefully I can start seeing results.. and hopefully I can wash off this smegma! Thanks a lot everybody, it's really helped and put my mind to rest!

You can also try soaking in the bath with your foreskin pulled back and that should soften it up better then gently rub it off with your finger, it might be sensitive at first but the more it's touched the less sensitive it will become to the point where you can easily rub the bare head when you masturbate.
Hope this helps.

If the head of your penis is only sensitive where the smegma resides then just lightly scrape it off with a finger tip or thumb. I found this the easiest and quickest way. Though somewhat painful. It also gets rid of any sensitivity left behind

I have found my own way to clean in which works for me but I don't know if it'll help you. First retract the foreskin and clean it out with water and if the smegma is still there stuck to your the head of your penis, I tried wetting the top of a q-tip so it will be softer and slowly use it to push the smegma to a side where you can take it out. Sometimes you can use the dry side of the q-tip to tap the smegma and it might stick to the q-tip so you can pull it out and rinse it out. Make sure the q-tip touches the smegma and not your penis head or it can cause slight discomfort. Wet the q-tip each time you do this so the water can help move and soften the smegma so it is easier to move. Slowly move the q-tip across the smegma and try to do a slow swipe to push it to the side of your foreskin where it can be more easier to take out. Hope this helps!

You can also try wetting one side of a q-tip to push or scrape it off.

Smegma is actually esterified fatty acid which won't be removed easily with water, I would suggest you use body oil for this purpose. The pain while pulling down the prepuse is bound to be painful as it has maximum number of mechanoreceptors called meissner's corpuscles, so be gentle with it. After repeated intercourse your body will get habituated with it. By the way smegma is an natural lubricant between the prepuse and corpora cavernosa so that your penis is in order during intercourse, so no need to get worked up with it.

If your a real first year medical student then you would know that the corpora cavernosa is the spongy erectile tissue that is inside the penis shaft and clitoris, the area that the prepuce (foreskin/clitoral hood) covers is the glands or clitoris.

I'm 14 and I use wet cotton buds the get underneath the head of my penis and it works well but if it is dry smegma you will have to kept at it and be about more patient and eventually it will come off I got all clean of dry smegma in about 10 mins at the most

I have Smegma stuck at the very inner of my fore and it's very hard for me to clean out is there any solution? Because I've been spending too long in the bathroom trying to get it out and is the cause of smegma due to masturbating ?

Hi, are you able to pull your foreskin right back to clean?
No smegma isn't caused by masturbation it's just a build up of dead skin cells and natural body oils that secreted.

If you can keep your foreskin pulled back at night and not wear any bottoms or underwear then as the glands start to dry out they will become less sensitive.
