How to treat smegma
Disease description:
My friend recently noticed smegma under his foreskin while showering. He wants me to ask how smegma can be treated.

The treatment of smegma is mainly divided into the following categories:
1. Daily hygiene: Gently wash daily with warm water, ensuring the foreskin is fully returned to its original position. Avoid using soap or strongly alkaline cleansers.
2. Avoid irritation: Avoid excessive cleaning or the use of irritating products such as wet wipes or scented products, which may cause dryness, itching, or inflammation of the foreskin.
3. Medication: If smegma is accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, or itching, anti-inflammatory medications such as levofloxacin tablets or amoxicillin granules may be used under a doctor's guidance.
4. Surgical treatment: If smegma repeatedly occurs severely, it may be related to phimosis or redundant foreskin, and circumcision may be considered.
