My penis is emitting a foul smell. What could be the cure. I maintain a proper hygiene. Is this a concern of a urologist or dermatologist?

Smegma is an accumulation of dead skin cells and the natural oils that keep the penis moist. This buildup is more common on uncircumcised penises as it forms around the head of the penis. In addition to a bad smell, smegma can: cause redness and irritation.
