What is the reason for the white powder on the head of the penis when washing it?

Patient's question:

What factors or causes could be responsible for the white powder on the glans during penile washing? The patient is male, 25 years old. 1. This issue has only appeared from the beginning of this year to now; 2. After washing every night, the patient feels the foreskin membrane has become thinner, and that layer of powder is similar to sweat and grease; 3. Sometimes it feels like the foreskin is being washed through.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be the accumulation of urine sediment in the coronal sulcus, which is normal. However, if you belong to the group with high blood acid and high blood lipids, it is recommended to actively control your blood acid and blood sugar levels, as this can often be resolved.
Advice: Generally, it will not lead to secondary infection. However, if there is phimosis and poor hygiene due to delayed cleaning, it may worsen local inflammation.
