Hello

Welcome to HCM

In my opinion it is perfectly alright to develop smegma under foreskin of penis.

Its a natural lubricant produced under foreskin of your penis to keep it.

But if you dont wash your penis say in every 2-3 day then it is going to develop under your foreskin and become a site for proliferation of bacteria because of that it may itch and gives you offensive smell.

Because of bacterial proliferation sometimes it may cause balanitis or urethritis.

Advice is keep it clean regularly with warm water.

Eat healthy,stay healthy

Take care

Regards.
