Is it itchy to have smegma?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Easily produces white smegma in the foreskin, and it's a bit itchy.
History of Treatment and Effect: Easily produces white smegma in the foreskin, and it's a bit itchy.
What Help Is Needed: How to treat it so that it stops itching? Is it okay to use a liquid wash?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation is quite normal. You likely have balanitis. It's best to pay attention to cleaning regularly. You must be careful to clean the smegma. I suggest you drink more plain water, especially a large glass of warm water on an empty stomach every morning. Eat less spicy food and quit smoking and drinking. You can use high-manganese potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 1:5000 to clean the external genitalia, especially the folds of the foreskin, and then disinfect with povidone-iodine. Try to keep the external genitalia clean and dry.
