Substance that forms under the foreskin?


hey ppl, this is for my health class and i been trying to get answers but i can't find them. also, check my other question for male reproductive system :( the question is "a substance that forms under the foreskin consisting of dead skin and other secretions..."

SMEGMA- It forms on the glans of the penis (circumcised or uncircumcised). On circumcised males, it washes off easily and doesn't usually collect. Uncircumcised males have to pull back the foreskin and wash underneath or it will collect there and build up. Females also produce smegma on the glans of the clitoris and surrounding areas (and it serves the same purpose and produces the same results).

Ordinarily, smegma is a natural harmless clear secretion composed of skin cells, oil and an antibacterial agent that is meant to protect against infections. However, if left to collect there it will build up, dry up and turn white and flaky. It will also produce an unpleasent oder as bacteria becomes trapped there as well.

Smegma and it forms actually on cut ***** too, it just rubs off. In any case, you just wash it off with soap and water, no big deal. I don't remember actually when I had it last time.

It as smegma

LOL... gross...
I could make fun of you, but i'm feeling generous tonight... hehe

the answer is: Smegma...
eew... i kid you not...
SMEGMA

dick cheese

smegma, it is found more on boys who still have their foreskin
it is easily washed off and it should be washed every day
it is the same material that covers a newborn baby

Women actually produce small amounts too, under the clitoral hood.

Males with complete penises do produce some smegma, females produce a lot more, so what is your point?
You also produce smegma in your belly button sweetie.
Male smegma tends to smell "cheesy" while female smegma is described as "fishy"
