Here are some ...: If no other related symptoms present, just keep the area clean and dry as much as possible + lightly apply topical steroid cream 1-2 times daily and see for 3-5 days. If not better or worse, seek pro-evaluation timely. Some time down the road, have Doc take a look so to figure out possible underlying cause.

Smegma is a cheesy, : whitish collection of shed epithelial cells & oily or waxy secretions where the glans penis & foreskin meet or under the foreskin in uncircumcised babies or in circumcised pudgy babies whose penises are concealed in a suprapubic fat pad. If you wish, gently retract foreskin only as far as it will go comfortably, wipe gently with a soft, moist cloth & return foreskin to its original position.
