According to the description, you might be
experiencing some type of infection but
that's not for sure. A bad smell from the
penis could also be due to poor hygiene.
Secretions from the skin glands are
collected in the space between the penis
head and foreskin. This secretion together
with desquamated cells and local bacteria
is called smegma. Smegma has bad small due
to the local bacterial activity. You can
visit your GP or a dermatovenerologist if
necessary for a consultation and advice.
