What is Smegma?

• Smegma is the thick, white substance that gets
  accumulated under the foreskin of the penis. It
  is more common in men who are not circumcised and
  those who dont clean the area well. Its not
  just men who get smegma buildup but also women in
  the vaginal area. Although its completely normal
  to have smegma, bacteria grows in this buildup
  and this can cause bad odor and itch in the
  genitals. This can also make the head of the
  penis swell and hurt.

Whats in Smegma?

• Tiny glands called sebaceous glands in the penis
  and vagina release smegma to lubricate these
  areas. It's made from a combination of fatty
  oils, shed skin cells, and moisture like sweat.
• In men, smegma collects between the foreskin and
  the head of the penis. In women, it can build up
  between the folds of the vulva and around the
  clitoris.
• It's normal to have some smegma. But if you don't
  wash with an intimate wash for men, it can start
  to build up under the foreskin and head of the
  penis.

Smegma and Health

• The bacteria that grows in the smegma can make
  the head of the penis red and also swollen which
  is also known as balanitis. It can tighten the
  foreskin which is why you may find it difficult
  to pull it back. If you see any redness, swelling
  or bad odor then you should either try using a
  mens intimate wash and if the problems persist
  then contact your doctor.

How to treat Smegma Buildup?

• The easiest way to remove smegma is to maintain a
  personal hygiene routine that includes an
  intimate wash for men. In men, that means
  properly cleaning your genitals, including around
  and under your foreskin.
• Your body naturally produces lubricants which
  make it easy for the foreskin to retract. The
  buildup of this lubricant along with natural
  oils, dead skin cells, dirt and sweat is called
  smegma. Which is why it is less common in
  circumcised males. Properly cleaning your penis
  with a v wash for men is the easiest way to
  remove smegma.

How to treat Smegma Buildup?

• Gently pull your foreskin back. You will notice
  that you might not be able to pull it back if the
  smegma hardens. If you force it then you can
  cause tears which can lead to serious injuries,
  pain and infections.
• Use an intimate wash for men with warm water
  everyday to wash your genitals. Make sure you
  dont scrub the area because that can irritate
  the skin. If you are not able to retract the
  foreskin then you can use a natural body oil
  which may loosen the accumulation. Thoroughly
  rinse all the hygiene wash and gently pat the
  area dry. Wash your privates everyday to remove
  the smegma and also prevent smegma buildup.
• Do not scrape the smegma with any sharp thing or
  even cotton swabs because that will just cause
  irritation and pain and tears. If the smegma
  isnt improving after a week of proper cleaning,
  or if its getting worse, see your doctor.
• Contact your doctor if the head of your penis is
  red or inflamed. This might mean that you have
  excess smegma buildup which has led the bacteria
  to grow out and caused an infection which can
  only be cured with proper medical attention.
