What Causes Clear Penile Discharge Which Smells Fishy?

I wash the head of my penis under my foreskin every morning with soap, do not masturbate during the day, and pull my foreskin back when I urinate. However the head of my penis becomes sort of damp to the touch soon after showering, this dampness (whatever it is) smells fishy, it seems like it is seeping some sort of clear discharge I guess?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

IN short: I think its smegma

Explanation: Glands over the glans secrete some oily substance called smegma daily. If it accumulates it can give you fishy smell. Good that you are washing your glans daily.
If you are not convinced please visit a doctor to rule out balanoposthitis(infection of glans and prepuce).
