I have discovered smegma by chance

Hi, I'm guessing that seeing as you have only just found it that you have only just started to pull your foreskin back.

No I just haven pulled it back that far before or haven't noticed it which is surprising 

Well you need to pull your foreskin right back and clean regularly or it can lead to infection.

Hi Guest:

Do not worry!


Smegma is a natural, normal, harmless, and healthy substance. It is a mixture of exfoliated skin and skin oils. Smegma collects under the foreskin. It is normally white in color. Some people believe that smegma resembles cream cheese.

It can get irritating if it stays for a long time without being washed away, so it is good practice to wash under the foreskin periodically, however excessive washing should be avoided.

Accumulated smegma may get hardened and difficult to remove if it stays a long time such as under a foreskin that is not retracted. Olive oil has been recommended for softening and removing hardened smegma.

Since smegma is composed of exfoliated skin and skin exfoliation occurs continuously, then smegma is continuously forming. You may expect to see more every day.
