What Causes Bad Odor From Tip Of Penis?

I had a fishy odour from the tip of my penis. I m uncircumcised but the tip is always exposed as my foreskin stays back on its own. The smell comes from where my wrinkly foreskin sits at the rim of my penis head. I have no std s, it s not my urine and I wash it regularly but it always stank of fish. After researching online I saw it could be a bacteria causing the smell from within the foreskin that sits around the rim of the head of my penis, being that there is excess skin causing a moist area for the bacteria to thrive. For the last 2 weeks I ve been using a little savlon rubbed into the rim of my penis head and the smell has vanished from the first application. Is this safe to continue? Are there any further things I can do other than a circumcision which I do not/will not have done. Many thanks.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having collection of smegma under fore skin.
Due to deposition there might be having chance of Belano-prosthitis might give foul smell from the part.
Clean the glans by averting foreskin and remove smegma gently.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Make a habit to clean glans while taking shower.
Ok and take care.
