Increased smegma production? (uncut)

I’ve struggled with increased smegma production last 2-3 years, or I think it’s smegma at least.
I’m over 30 and suddenly my penis just got dirty way faster than normal.
I think it’s smegma, white buildup or something…

I’ve tried to wash it often, not wash it often, with and without soap. I event went to the doctor and she just said its normal.

It could maybe be yeast infection, but I’m not red or anything. It can get itchy some times, but that is occationally and usually no problem.

One thing that actually helps is after each time I urinate I pull the forskin back before putting it back in my boxers to “dry” it out.

Anyone else had similar problem?

Yes - I had a cheese factory down there once. No itches or redness, but every morning I’d see loads of cheese there. It was just a fungal infection. Went away easily with an anti-fungal cream.

Use aquaphor on your penis after you shower.

Isn’t that a moisturizer? How will that solve the problem?

It’s more than that. It has a few other ingredients that both anti bacterial and anti fungal. Its honestly like vaseline and neosporin mixed. Just try it you will thank me after a few days.

That is a great suggestion. Thank you for sharing your finding. I have tried many options including coconut oil and will be exploring your suggestion.

Coconut oil has good antifungal properties.

I used to get a fair bit, I always associated it with being horny. Don’t seem to get it anymore.

Silicone lube gave me this issue, coconut oil saved the day!

I mentioned this in another thread, but Dove Sensitive Skin Body wash with “Nutrium” moisture is an excellent body wash to use on your penis in the shower. It is very gentle and moisturizing, and fragrance-free.

Then, after the shower, apply organic, cold pressed coconut oil from a clean container, with clean hands on your bare glans. Then pull the foreskin forward and wipe away the extra oil.

Always pull your foreskin all the way back when you urinate until you’re totally done.

Tried that now with no luck. It works in a way, making it “cleaner” for an entire evening, but makes the duck harder to wash clean after that because all of the fat…

Any other suggestions?

Have you changed anything else about how you’re living? Anything that could coincide with the new accumulation of Smeg? Such as, a change in diet, alteration in physical activity, new soap, new sexual practice / partner(s), etc? Iirc Smeg is the accumulation of dead skin cells and sweat secretions, so anything that changes those could be a root cause. Keep cleaning it regularly, though, or you may end up with clogged glands and maybe even pearly penile papules under the glans.

Did you ever try a dedicated anti fungal cream? Athletes foot cream worked instantly for me.

I don’t have a foreskin, though I would if I had been given a choice, so I don’t have much experience with smegma. I produce the tiniest amount in an area of my circumcision scar.

When I have a topical skin infection, whether it’s fungal or bacterial, my first response is povidone iodine. It has a very low risk profile for external use and kills bacteria, fungus, and viruses. I’m not 100% certain it’s safe for mucous membranes. I know it is used as an oral rinse in certain extreme cases.

I have gotten yeast infections before and povidone iodine and good hygiene cleared them up rapidly.
