Smegma? Issue under the foreskin.

---

This is my first post, needless to say this has been an issue that I have had for some time. It was yesturday, after doing some research I finally found out about smegma. However, I am curious to find out if the condition under my foreskin really is ONLY smegma.

The following two photos are not work safe, and are only being posted to help determine my problem.

The first photo is the build up of "Smegma"?
Photo 1 - Smegma Build up?

The second photo is after a cleaning of the head! Which doesnt seem to be too spotless!!! I thoroughly rub, literally scrub with my thumb, water, and rinse all day only to find the result.. of course, lessened, but it seems to never go completely AWAY! :confused: Photo 2 - Condition after thorough wash.

Im really concerned. This white film seems to never go away. The only time it is not visible is when im not flacid or the head is moist. Im worried about the film and wonder what it is. As well as worried about the overall texture of my head due to the white film.

Please help. And inform me to what my issue is. Thank you.

Note: I have had this condition for awhile now. And have been thoroughly cleaning almost every shower. Photo 1 is literally a 2 day worth of accumlation.

Hey bud, welcome to A2A!. I'm uncut too. That doesn't look like the smegma that I've dealt with. Just a couple of questions. Are you sexually active? Is there a smell associated with this condition? Any itching or irritation? Have you used any lubrications lately or a condom? A guess I'm wondering about some kind of reaction to something. This could be a yeast infection but I'm not sure how one of those looks. Maybe someone else can help too.

Took a look at your situation. Now, first I am cicumsized so take my comments with that in consideration. However, when looking at the pics, it appears to me like you have dry skin or possibly ezema (though that may be a little off). My skin gets dry like that sometimes, especially if I have been wearing tight underwear and doing a lot of sweating. What it looks to me like is skin cells, and when you wash well, you rub most of them off. Personally, I would try some moisturizer and see if that resolves some of the problem.

Thank you for your comments. I'll try moisturizer on it, since trying it wont hurt me and maybe it'll work I am not sexually active. There is a smell associated with it. However, no itching once so ever and nothing comes in contact with my head other then foreskin. I used to always wipe after taking a tinkle, but then i started to think it might be the tissue getting stuck to the skin so stopped. Needless the say the conditon didnt stop though. =(I will try the mositurizer soon and let everyone know how that goes.

Like the others said, it doesn't look like smegma, rather it's more like eczema or a fungal issue. I would see a doctor, better yet a dermatologist.

> better yet a dermatologist

Absolutely. Most non-specialists are confused by skin conditions.
