Orange Smegma

Normally my head cheese is a white color. I am concerned because the last few times I have cleaned under my foreskin I have had some orange colored smegma. Is this normal? I’ve been eating more red meat recently and it may have cause the discoloration. Just throwing that info there, not sure what it could be. I am not sexually active and avoid sex normally. The last time I was with a guy we jerked each other off but that was it.

That is strange. I’m not an expert on smegma or anything. Did you rub anything orange or red down there?

There’s a kind of bacteria that has a red color that might be the cause, though not the only possible microbe.

Do you have red film growing around the fixtures in your bathroom, washing machine, maybe in a humidifier? If so, you may want to scrub them out and disinfect them. I’d also rub some povidone iodine under the foreskin and around the penis after a shower.

It’s a pathogenic microbe, but it usually doesn’t cause problems in people with a healthy immune system. If you get signs of a urinary tract infection though you should see a doctor ASAP and mention the smegma.

Do you wash that area every time you bathe or do you believe in keeping it natural with no cleaning?

I remember back in high school I had something similar but was in the middle of my scrotum where my sac connects. It might just he old hardened or dead head cheese.

Another thing to note is that it looks this color in certain lights. So I could be overthinking. This is why I never hookup, I always assume after I have an STI even though its never penetrative.

A little of both. I keep it clean but bot everyday, sometimea I forget. But I only use water and let it just wash over.

Wash yourself, it’s not normal.

All good now. To be honest, I noticed in a specific light everything looks off. And now it’s a regular color, back to whitish yellow. I do think I had a small UTI, because I had a smell to. It may have been due to overdoing my PE sets to.

Anyway all good now. :) Later.

Haven’t had smegma since I was 4-5 years old.

There is no reason to ever have smegma if you shower daily and wash under your foreskin.

As the owners and operators of foreskins in a society that routinely mutilates penises because It associates the foreskin with bad smell and dick cheese, it is our responsibility to not perpetuate that ridiculous stereotype and follow proper hygiene.

I recommend Dove sensitive skin shower gel with “Nutrium” whatever that is. They make a fragrance free variety, and it moisturizes and cleans without drying up your sensitive glans skin. It is ph balanced too.

Thanks. But I have another issue to tend to. The smegma is the least of my worries right now. Thanks for you help though.
