From last 1 month there is some type of accumulation on penis (cheese/cottage like) white in color like smegma. There also some foul smell and foreskin is fully retractable, no itching and also there is no redness on head of penis. I am a virgin and not sexually active. I have been using candid gel prescribed by my local doctor, from last 20 days but there is no affect and issue is increasing day by day.

Hello- its smegma. It is the thick, white, cheesy substance that collects under the foreskin of the penis. It's more common in uncircumcised men who don't clean that area well enough. It's normal to have some smegma. And it usually isn't a health problem, but bacteria can grow in it and smell bad. Those bacteria can also make the head of the penis swell up and hurt.
