Smegma 101: What It Is and How to Deal with It
by John Dugan OwnerSmegma…it seems to be a dirty, dirty word. Point in fact, it is
literally a really clean word. It comes from the Latin meaning soap or to cleanse.
So, if it has a squeaky-clean origin, then why do people today associate it
with a nasty white funk hiding in a guy’s junk?
Well, it’s because people often hear about smegma when it’s so far
gone that it’s causing problems. It’s actually part of a normal daily
detoxifying process that happens naturally. Smegma is the end result of clean
up. It’s comprised of oil, dead skin cells, and other bodily fluids. Men and
women also both produce it. In small amounts, it can be seen by some as a
lubricant. However, it gets its bad rap from the overabundance or overgrowth of
this biological concoction that can lead to a serious odorific offender,
inflammation, and even infection. Thank goodness that it is also something that
can be cleaned up quickly for most men, and then avoided in the future. Let’s
talk all things smegma.
Symptoms of Smegma
Smegma is one of those things that is pretty clear-cut. The
symptoms of smegma don’t vary widely and are pretty noticeable. A few of those
symptoms are:
- Fiery Member. When overgrowth happens, the affected male organ gets red,
irritated, and sore, which leads well into the next symptom…
- Peeing like an Angry Dragon. All that fire has to leave the body somehow! Feeling a burning
sensation when urinating and lots of throbbing is not uncommon once smegma
comes to town.
- What is that SMELL? Smegma is often noted for its unique sour, gag-inducing fragrance.
- White, thick texture with a
cheese-like consistency. It may look like
ricotta cheese, but it sure isn’t! The texture and smell of this bodily buildup
got the name “head cheese” for a reason.
Smegma Causes
There’s pretty much only one cause of smegma – when a man doesn’t
adequately and regularly wash his nether region. So, lack of proper and regular
hygiene is the root cause of smegma.
While not a so-called cause of smegma, men who are uncircumcised
are at greater risk for smegma issues because the foreskin is smegma’s favorite
place to camp out. This can lead to a buildup that is so serious it can cause
the foreskin not to retract. Some men choose to be circumcised in adulthood if
smegma is a chronic issue.
Getting Rid of Smegma
Simple cause, simple treatment. Clean that
Johnson! Implement a daily hygiene ritual for male organ health.
What should be included? So, thrilled that came up. Here is an easy five-point
guide to having the cleanest, healthiest, smegma-free member on the block:
1) Softly pull back the foreskin (if applicable). Note: If any
smegma has hardened, the skin may not want to pull back. Don’t force it! It can
not only cause extreme pain but also tear the very delicate genital skin which
can lead to bleeding and infection.
2) Use a mild cleanser and warm water to wash the area that’s
either covered or typically covered by the foreskin. Be tender but thorough. If
the smegma hardened, rub some oil (coconut, olive, or grapeseed) on it first to
loosen it up.
3) Rinse meticulously and pat or air dry.
4) Follow cleansing by nourishing the member with a specially
formulated male organ health creme (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which
has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) daily. Select a
crème that has an all-natural moisturizing base like Shea butter or vitamin E.
Look for the addition of nutrients like vitamins A, B, C, and D for their
anti-bacterial, skin-soothing and cell regeneration properties.
5) Repeat these steps daily until the smegma vanishes and then
continue to follow this new routine to prevent smegma until it’s old hat.
If the smegma doesn’t go away after a week of cleansing or the
foreskin won’t retract, see a doctor. Otherwise, enjoy a smegma-free member!
