What Causes Smegma Accumulation Under The Head Of Penis?

I have this smegma like substance hidden inside the skin under the head of my penis. Its hard to get rid of since its inside the skin. It is not like normal smegma where it is just under the foreskin. Sometimes I managed to clean it thoroughly, but it will come back once in a while. Making it look like there is a bump before retracting foreskin.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
What problem you are facing with accumulation of smegma could be due to presence of mild infection of the skin along with secretions and dead cells.
Kindly do the following to overcome the symptoms:
1. Clean the area thoroughly using warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice a day.
2. After drying, kindly apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream underneath the skin.
3. Keep your genitals under good hygiene and wear loose fitting undergarments to provide good ventilation. Also abstain from sexual activities till the lesions subside completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
