What is the white discharge in the foreskin

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What is the white discharge in the foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when phimosis or excessive prepuce occurs, the secretions of the sebaceous glands under the foreskin cannot be expelled, and the combination of sebum and urinary precipitates forms a cheesy, foul-smelling substance called "preputial smegma." It is important to pay attention to genital hygiene, and surgical treatment is recommended. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution to remove the dirt. Apply an anti-fungal ointment, such as clotrimazole ointment, Fungizone ointment, or Daktarin ointment.
