Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have observed a white smegma on my penis head. There were irritation and red bumps on it before, but I oiled it, so now I do not have any pain or irritation. But in the morning, the white smegma is still there and my foreskin is hard and rough. What should I do? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
If your foreskin is hard and rough, you may benefit from removing the foreskin, which is circumcision. I suggest you show it to the urologist nearby and get it done.
I hope this helps.
Please revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply,
I want to clarify that my foreskin is pulling back normally, but when I am hard, then it is causing the issue. There is no irritation while urinating, no blood patches on the penis head, and even the white smegma is low, but yes, it usually comes out when I remove my underwear after all day. It is washable, but it comes again, and I am having a pain in the foreskin and sometimes in my penis head as well. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Some amount of semen used to come out when you are excited is called precum. It generally gets deposited beneath the foreskin, so when you retract your foreskin, there will be white color, foul-smelling fluid that has to be washed daily. This is normal. If you are having pain in the foreskin or glans, then it needs to be examined. Show it to the urologist nearby for examination.
I hope this helps.
Please revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
