Dear lybrate user. I can understand. The smelly sticky substance you are mentioning here is called smegma. Smegma is a mixture of urine, sperm, dust, bacteria and fungus. You must keep the gland area clean. Presence of smegma is normal. But allowing it to be there can cause infection. Keep the area clean. Take care.
