Hi

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic.

See normally there will be accumulation of semen at the base of penis , this is called as Smegma but that will be a thin layer and not 2cm thick.

I need to see what exactly it is to give you a proper advise. I advise you to upload the picture of it.

Try washing it off with water. If it is just smegma it will go off easily but if it is a growth or mass it won't.

Kindly revert back with the photo.

Regards.

You need to get tested.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Went through the attachment , actually a real picture would have been better. But OK. Looking at the description given by you it doesn't seems to Smegma.

Either it is a fibrous tissue replacing the muscle ( sorry for being too medical ) or it is a growth of some unwanted tissue ( tumour ).

You need to consult an Urologist for this problem and get a test called FNAC of the accumulation.

Kindly revert back with the reports.

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
