Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I have been experiencing an excessive buildup of white substances (possibly smegma) on the tip of my penis for the past month. Despite washing 2-3 times a day, the issue persists. Is medication necessary?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

If there is a persistent collection of white substance despite proper hygienic measures, it may indicate an underlying medical problem such as a fungal or bacterial infection, or balanitis. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to address this condition.

 

Thanks
