white crust on rim / head of my penis
Posted: 11-23-07 03:41am

Hi. this will look like very werid thingy but yeah umm see my penis, when i peel the foreskin back over the head till its fully exposed, both erect and non erect there is a white crust around the rim of the head.

Now this is well, the wierd part...my foreskin didn't peel back enough to uncover the head of my penis, or actually didnt peel back more than it took to show the tip of my penis and a half inch radius around or more (i'm bad at math) till about a YEAR ago. After that, I could, but I never really had to...consideirng I masturbated all my life (I'm 21 now) without peeling the foreskin to uncover my head...

So NOW there comes a situation, where I have to. I never really thought of it as a problem till about recently till the possiblity of sex on a regular basis became a possiblity...(and will be a reality very soon...) and well I've seen the porn and the penis's there they're all well, the head is fully exposed and all...its clean, though...my penis has a white grainy (no the head of the penis or even the color of the skin isn't anything abnormal...although the head is very well baby pink....its just coated with white grainy stuff and right at the rim its crusted with white covering.

The head of my penis is very sensitive, I mean...I don't mean in a "ooohhh God way"...lol. Not in a hurtful way either, its just sensitive...but not to a level I think it would be normal (I never see the face of a guy CRINGE in a BAD way when in a porn video there is a tongue on his head,)...well, I don't know, exactly...

I've never had my penis more than well...just masturbated by hand.

But ah yes, the PROBLEM...is the crust and the sensitiveness...

WHAT HAVE I TRIED?

Well, I peeled my foreskin back, full, first non erect, and dipped my penis into lukewarm water (the hottest I could make it without it feeling well...too raw/sensitive or a mix of the two) and swirled it around...well, i suppose the loose grains come off or whatever, i dont really think so

then i masturbated till i was erect and peeled the foreskin back and there was this crust of white still there, some of it, i mean (0.50 % yes, there is a zero in front of the decimal) of it came off i mean it can come off but then it feel like im pulling on skin itself when it comes to removing that crust.

I swirled it around in the water for a while, nothing...white crust still there...will be in a position where this willl be a problem, so to speak...(lol) in 6 days.

I cant go see a doctor here and i cant talk about it to my parents I am newly 21.

Help, please.

(It took me about well...an hour, to write that whole thing out, and no, I dont type slow and I do know english). Embarassed

Hi.
It's called smegma and it's completely normal. It happens when dead skin cells/moisture/other stuff gets under your foreskin and stays there. It probably has an interesting odour too, doesn't it?

In any case, not to worry. Try using soap and water, and actually using your hands to get the stuff off. It might be uncomfortable, but it's the best way to get rid of it. Also, cleaning it this way on a daily basis will help prevent it.
