HELP ME,PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Perfectly normal. The white substance is primarily dead skin tissue, much like the dandruff which collects in your hair. Simply rinse it away when you wash, but remember not to use soaps, only clean, clear water.Korydon

It's called Smegma.
-
Thats normal, just make sure to clean your thing everyday.
-
Thnx korydon,but I thought smegma was yellow jelly-like substance,not a white dry skin substance??? and also,can smegam harm you,or is it just disgusting?
-
Smegma is a naturally occuring lubricant that helps your foreskin move around on the head of your penis (so it won't get stuck) it won't harm you and yes, its just a bit disgusting. That's why you have to be able to retract your foreskin and clean under there everyday, once you do that it won't build up or be quite as disturbing to you as it is now. Keep working on those stretching exercises and retracting your foreskin bud, things will be fine!

in short this thing is called "dick cheese". its just nasty buildup that ppl like us gotta see. this is giving me memories of when i went thru this. december 2000 to be exact. the day after the first time masturbating, i got very sick and threw up and stuff. was this normal? i was always puzzled.

I suspect it was just coincidence - you just happened to get a virus then.
-
In reply to: its just nasty buildup that ppl like us gotta see Not particularly. I've never seen it. We don't 'gotta' see it. We gotta clean regularly - then you don't get it.

silentrain thts not wat im saying. i was talkin about when u first stretch the skin u will see it and u cant clean before u stretch the skin. i dont get the white stuff because i do clean myself and all of us should to especially the uncircumsised ones

Smegma, so-called, is primarily made up of dead skin cells, but when over time it is allowed to collect, normal bodily secretions tend to moisten the accumulation. And, yes, the substance can perform a lubricating function. Smells which sometimes accompany smegma may usually be attributed to the breakdown of minute amounts of urine which become trapped beneath the foreskin. By the way, smegma and its accompanying odours are much more usually (and normally) a characteristic of the genitals of females.Korydon
