Whats the best way to clean smegma?!


Question: Whats the best way to clean smegma.?
I am 14 years old and my foreskin used to be tight, recently it has been pulling back further and further, until now it is pretty much all the way back, i'd been having a bit of smegma for a while but now its pulled back a lot, i can see lots of it in lumps, its hard to wipe off as my head is very sensitive, should i just wipe of the big bits then wash it in the shower.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You need to ensure that you can fully retract your foreskin to expose the whole glans (head) and the coronal sulcus (groove) behind it as that is where most of the smegma will collect.

Smegma is a waste product composed of surplus/old body oils, shed skin cells, miscellaneous dirt and dust, stale urine and stale semen. Because it is oily you need to use soap and warm water to clean it away. At least initially you may need to rub at it with a washcloth or your fingers to help loosen it.

After washing with soap and water, the glans should be rinsed with plain water to remove all the soap. When drying yourself, retract the foreskin again and pat the inner area dry - don't leave it wet or it will start to smell quicker.

Your glans is sensitive to light touch because it has been encased in your foreskin for so long. Your parents should have ensured that you could retract, and did so for daily washing, from about the age of 8. Had you been doing this the glans would not hurt to be touched. The more you have your glans exposed the easier it will be to touch it and keep it clean. In the meantime you may just have to 'grin and bear it' for a while.Health Question & Answer

That is the main reason circumcision is really a good idea. But no matter, what you need to do is take a bath and soak. You will then need to use a bit of very gentle soap like baby soap. Nothing with too much perfume in it. Get it as clean as you can and then every single day in the shower you will need to clean. Between showers, you need to put vaseline or baby oil to prevent build up.Health Question & Answer

You need to clean this thoroughly every day, so you should be working on building up a tolerance to touching it. Push your limit of how much you can handle, and eventually you will be able to clean without a problem.

In the meantime if you can't handle wiping it all down, try soaking in a bath for a while to loosen it up. You really need to get it all off every day, one way or another.Health Question & Answer

Use a little bit of mild soap and warm water. If you have sensitivity, do so in the shower or with a soft washcloth.
