Hello,

It can be smegma. Which is nothing but a dead skin and mucus. It is a sign of poor personal hygiene.

As of now you can clean the area with soap and water regularly. Generally it will settle by itself. If recurrent infection, circumcision may be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
