Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am uncircumcised. When I pull my foreskin pack, I see some stuff in side the skin on top of the actual penis. It looks like gray and pink dust or random stuff (I don t know what it is). I am 18 years old. Is this some kind of an infection or have things from the outside entered my penis?
Hello, Welcome to HCM. I understand your problem. The stuff you have observed is known as smegma which is collection of dead skin cells and other debris. It is quite normal and nothing to worry about. But it is advisable that you clean it regularly. For this, you should fully pull back the foreskin and gently remove it by warm water at the time of bathing. Hope this will be helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions. Take care.
