What Causes White Patch On Foreskin?

About two weeks ago i saw a white patch on my foreskin, but didn t notice it much. But as the patch began to grow i searched on the net and went to a urologist. He told me that it was due to smegma accumulation and gave me mutop ointment along with some medicines. But the patch is still there at my penis tip. my foreskin has also become tighter than before. could you tell me what is the problem and how to deal with it ?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The urologist did clarify about your problem. In every possibility it has to be smegma accumulation. That should go off if you apply ointment regularly. Smegma lubricates the cavity between the foreskin of the penis and the glans, thus allowing smooth movement between them during intercourse.More importance is to be given to hygiene of that foreskin area. Cleaning the foreskin area with soap twice or thrice a day should do for you.

Good luck.
