What Is The Treatment For Smegma In The Penis?
I am 17 years old and have recently found out that my penis has a large build up of smegma. I have found it extremely difficult to retract my foreskin for years, however recently I have been able too. I can only do it when I do not have an erection as the foreskin is very tight. When I am in the shower, I try to clean the smeg but it doesnt budge. It is too sensative to touch and it wont just go with water. HELP!?!

Hi,
Smegma is produced naturally - its normal for male to produce smegma. You need to retract the foreskin daily during bath to clean the smegma.
If you do it daily you will loose the sensitivity feeling, if you cannot pull back the foreskin you may be suffering from phimosis. Share a picture for confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
