My glans is covered by white stuff. Am I ill?

What you notice is quite normal. The white stuff is smegma: oil like substance that lubricates the cavity between the foreskin and the glans. This allows for a smooth movement between them during intercourse. During childhood little is formed. But there is a noticeable increase during adolescence. At first it is colourless and odour-free. But if you don’s wash it off it becomes an unpleasant, unhealthy and bad-smelling substance. To avoid this you have to retract your foreskin every day and remove the smegma by washing your glans. Pay attention to the depth of the foreskin where smegma is liable to lodge in the cavity between glans and foreskin. Removal is easy if you cleanse it regularly.
