Maintain good personal hygiene and keep the area dry to prevent smegma buildup. Although the foreskin is made of skin, its texture is much more delicate—similar to mucous membrane—and therefore should not be frequently cleaned with medicated products. Skin-cleansing medications are chemical agents that may cause irritation or burns to normal skin. If you already practice proper hygiene but still experience excessive smegma, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider.
