I'm suffering from smegma for the past 3 weeks!
Pls suggest what to do?

Question

Hi lybrate-user, The best way to treat smegma is to wash your genitalia. Following these instructions can help you eliminate any smegma buildup. If you?re uncircumcised, gently pull back the foreskin. Use mild soap and warm water to wash beneath the foreskin. Avoid using perfumed or highly-scented soaps. These products may irritate the sensitive skin. If you notice irritation associated with the use of soap, try using only warm water. Be careful to not irritate your penis by using sharp devices or products like cotton swabs to clean the head of your penis. Repeat this cleaning procedure daily until the smegma disappears. If the buildup doesn?t clear up or if it grows worse and you develop new symptoms, contact your doctor. Also, contact your doctor if cleaning your genitalia doesn?t eliminate the thick fluid buildup. What you think is smegma may actually be symptoms of an infection or another condition. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
