How to clean the smegma of foreskin? How to clean the smegma of foreskin

For a man with a long foreskin, when he turns over his foreskin every day, he will find a lot of smegma accumulated in the coronal sulcus. This substance is a mixture of glandular secretions on the penis and cells shed from the foreskin. So, what methods can men use to clean the smegma?

How to clean smegma?

1. To clean the smegma, the foreskin must first be able to be turned up to the coronal sulcus. If the adhesion is severe and cannot be turned up, you need to go to the hospital to use a ball-tipped probe to separate it until the foreskin is completely turned up, exposing the glans and frenulum, removing the smegma or stones, and then rinse with saline.

2. If the foreskin can be turned over, just pay attention to turning it over from time to time and clean the foreskin coronal sulcus with clean water. The foreskin should not be turned over too frequently, because the foreskin skin is tender and excessive friction will cause damage to the foreskin skin.

3. If the foreskin cannot be restored after being forcibly turned up, it may cause foreskin incarceration, which may cause glans necrosis. You must go to the hospital immediately for help. When cleaning the smegma, since the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner than the outer layer and is more sensitive to chemical detergents, you cannot use irritating detergents. Just rinse with water. Mild soaps and shower gels are also fine.

4. Patients who have already suffered from balanitis should turn the foreskin up when cleaning the penile foreskin. They can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wash it, and then apply antibiotic ointment.
