Can excessive washing of the foreskin & penis cause irrattion & soreness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usually washing once at shower and once 12 hours later is enough for good hygiene. Use your fingers. With just a little soap and be sure to wash all soap off. More washing and particularly with wash cloth would cause irritation,
