White Layer On Penis Under Foreskin, Painful, Mild Burning. What Could Be This?
I am having a strange problem for the first time in my life. i am 27 years old. Suddenly one day i discovered that there is a white layer on my penis under my foreskin, on the glans (glands). I had pain on the foreskin when i was pulling it back to clean it with water. the layer was pretty thick and needed time to get off. i used to clean with warm water but keeps coming back daily. Also when i rub the layer off or wash it away, My foreskin becomes extremely dry and develops cuts as the skin tears apart and takes time to heal and repeats every time. Also some kind or mild burning on my foreskin on inner layer
I understand your concerns. The white layer under your foreskin is supposed to be smegma which is a liquid secreted by the glands arounds the glans penis and has pheromonetic properties. You need to clean the area by pulling back your foreskin regularly so as to avoid the risk of any infection. I hope this helps relieve your anxiety.
Take care and have a lovely day!
