ok i've been needing some help...i have mentioned it before in past threads i have made..but pretty much the issue is like my penis will be completely normal..nice and clean etc...but after i masturbate etc..and it gets on my penis...so i can shower it off..but when i check the next day there's like sorta a white ish smegma looking buildup on my head and under my penis head like the rim of it..and it builds up there...so now if i wash it off completely it won't come back until i masturbate again so im assuming its something in my semen possibly? i know my ex had a yeast infection and when i was with my ex after her she also had a yeast infection...so im assuming can that be the culprit?? i haven't taken any meds for it and it's been months since me and my last ex did anything....If it is does anyone know any over the counter meds i can use that will make it go away..? and if so do i just apply it on the head of my penis or on my whole penis ti'll the pubic area?

Wondering what this is?
-
It doesn't sound like a yeast infection if, after you wash it off, it doesn't come back again unless you masturbate. Perhaps it is just smegma?
-
well thats what it looks like also..but how long does smegma normally take to start showing??
-
well there has been times that my tip of my penis felt itchy but it would go away..and that was like 5 days ago..and also at times it has gotten redddish around the foreskin area and then that goes away...like right now i washed up earlier..and i haven't had any itches or white build up of anything and its pretty dry down there...but like tom. if i were to masturbate.. and then if i were to shower and scrub down there IF and i say IF i wouldn't clean down there well..it seems to eventually start building up...so like if i would check my penis during the day it would be minimal but you could see a lil bit of it pulling off and sticking to my foreskin while i pull it back..

Smegma can be made up of all sorts of stuff - it's really just a name for any detritus that accumulates under the foreskin. It does tend to cause a bit of irritation and reddening as the result of bacteria growing in it.

I agree - I think things sound pretty normal.
