A member asked:

How to clean penis in a good way? is it ok to use antibacterial soap? how many time do i need to clean it daily? thanks!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, twice a day: If you are uncircumsized, pull back the foreskin gently and use warm water and any kind of soap. Twice a day should be enough.
