What if my forskin is covered in white substance?

It is possible that the white substance on your foreskin is smegma. Smegma is a natural substance that is produced by the glands in the foreskin. It is made up of dead skin cells, oils, and other fluids. Smegma can accumulate under the foreskin and can become thick and hard. If you are not circumcised, it is important to clean under your foreskin regularly to remove smegma. This can help to prevent infection and other problems.

Here are some tips for cleaning under your foreskin:

1. Retract your foreskin gently.

2. Wash the head of your penis and the inside of your foreskin with soap and water.

3. Rinse thoroughly with water.

4. Dry your penis and the inside of your foreskin completely.

If you are having trouble cleaning under your foreskin, talk to your doctor.
