I got white things on tip of my penis every morning despite washing my penis every night before sleep. What is the reason behind that?

Hello- Its smegma. It is a malodorous, opaque white or yellow substance composed of shed epithelial cells (dead skin) and sebum (oily secretions) produced by the sebaceous glands of male and female genitalia. It is found beneath the foreskin and glans penis in males and the folds of skin surrounding the clitoris in females. You can not stop its production but can clean it like other body parts daily during bath to avoid bad smell and itching.
