A member asked:
There is something on my glans penis that accumulates which is colourless and when i rub it off with my fingers it goes off as a thick white substance..what is it?? it's more seen in the morning when i wake up?

The white substance that accumulates under the foreskin is called smegma. It is entirely normal, but if it accumulates the chance of inflammation (called balanitis) rises. All uncircumcised men should retract the foreskin and wash with soap and water once a day.
