Whats the cheesy soft substance under my foreskin when i don't shower in 3 days i did
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smegma : Smegma is secreted under the foreskin. It can be white or be slightly yellow tinged. Even if you don’t have a chance to take a bath or shower every day, make it a habit to clean under your foreskin.
