Hi,

Phimosis can cause an increased accumulation of smegma below prepuce. Local hygiene, cleaning of the area with warm cotton swabs, may reduce your problem. However, if the problem persists then medical treatment with local hydrocortisone cream application and prepuce retraction exercises may help. In more tough cases, surgical intervention by partial or complete circumcision may be indicated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
