Yellowish crusty stuff on penis

Where is it exactly on your penis? Under the foreskin? If so, it's smegma.

yeah under the foreskin, how do i rid myself of it? or prevent it?

It's a mixture of shed skin cells and oils and stuff. Daily washing is about all you can do.

Yes, when you wash in the shower, make sure you pull your foreskin back all the way, and wash the smegma off as best you can. If it is hard and doesn't come off with soap and water, then try using a little baby oil on the smegma to soften and loosen it for easier removal. If you keep on top of cleaning it everyday, it shouldn't build up and will be easier to clean in the future. It's when it builds up over a long period of time that it can be difficult to remove. It's completely normal though - most uncut guys get smegma under the foreskin. Cut guys produce it too, its just that cut guys don't have any place for it to accumulate since they don't have a foreskin, so it rubs off on the underwear everyday and it never gets noticed.
