Hi, i'm 19 and up until about six months
ago I had never fully retracted my
foreskin. After finding, and cleaning
away quite alot of mess, I found some
small, hard, "flakes" (for lack of a
better word) that would not be cleaned
away. They are located on the underside
of the upper rim of my penis head, and are
only on about 1/4 of the underside of my
penis head. I tried scrubbing with soap
and soaking in a bath, and trying to
scrape them off gently with my nail, but
they stayed, and have since i've been
regularly cleaning under my foreskin for
the past couple of months. Does anybody
know what this could be, and maybe also
suggest a way to clean this, and any other
build up that may be more serious after 18
years of never retracting my foreskin?

i also never pulled the foreskin back
until I was 18. What you have is probably
smegma. Is it still there? Be careful
not to wash under the foreskin with soap
or you will damage the sensitive inner
skin. Just use water.
