Caring for your Uncircumcised Penis

Your penis sheds skin cells under the foreskin called smegma Once you get to the age where your foreskin can retract (pull back), here’s how you need to clean yourself. Remember; do not forcibly pull back your foreskin. This can cause tearing and pain. Always be gentle to avoid hurting yourself. While you bath or shower, gently retract (pull back) your foreskin and wash underneath your penis with a clean cloth and water. After cleaning always pull the foreskin back into its normal position. When you dry yourself, gently pull back the foreskin and dry the head of your penis, then pull the skin back to its normal position.
