Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to smegma.
As it's asymptomatic, so no need for any active management.
In case of bleeding, you may require laser treatment after consultation.
Avoid harsh cosmetic products. Maintain proper hygiene.
Use plain water for washing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
