This substance is called smegma. It has to be cleaned daily with plain water. If the foreskin cannot be withdrawn, the smegma may accumulates under it and may sometimes get harden or attract infections, emits unpleasant odor etc. More importantly, it is believed that wives of men who are uncircumcised are at a higher risk foe cancer of the cervix (cervix is the mouth of the uterus). Men with smegma accumulation are also at higher risk for cancer of the penis for various reasons. Therefore, it is a good idea to get circumcision done if the foreskin cannot be retracted even when the penis is in flaccid (shrunken) state. Dont be alarmed that it happens to everybody. Statistically the risk is slightly higher.
