Hello,

You are doing a lot of camping and are not comfortable cleaning the smegma that is accumulating under the foreskin of your uncircumscribed penis. Leaving it dirty causes a foul odor or in some cases it may harden and lead to irritation in the genitals. Proper cleaning should be done regularly while bathing. You are suggested to maintain hygiene at all cost. It is the need of your body. However, if you want to permanently retract it you should not try to do it yourself, get connected to a Urologist or a Surgeon. When you first begin retracting, it will probably roll back often, and you will have to be persistent.

You can use devices (soft hypoallergenic medical silicone tuboids) to keep it back, it helps to stretch it. But do be aware that you may feel extreme tightness such that it cuts off blood flow (at times of erection), as that can be serious. So let it be done by a urologist. The foreskin may take time to stretch. It will probably take some time before you can say you're permanently retracted. However, you are suggested to get circumcision done for permanent relief. Permanent retraction may present with some complication from time to time. You can consult with a Urologist & get your problem managed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
