It's the body part that men arguably value the most, so you owe it to your penis to always keep it clean, healthy and fit for purpose.

Give it the care it deserves and you may not be the only one to benefit – your partner will probably be grateful too.

Gently wash the penis with warm water each day when you're having a shower or bath. If you have a foreskin, pull it back gently and wash underneath.

If you don't wash underneath the foreskin correctly, a cheesy-looking substance called smegma may begin to gather.

Smegma is a natural lubricant that keeps the penis moist. It's found on the head of the penis and under the foreskin.

If smegma builds up in the foreskin, it can start to smell, stop you easily pulling your foreskin back, and become a breeding ground for bacteria. This can cause redness and swelling of the head of your penis, called balanitis.

How to Clean Your Penis
Irritation, infections, and unpleasant odors are just a few of the health conditions that can occur if you fail to maintain good hygiene habits for your penis health. Cleaning your penis can also help reduce your chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Hygiene practices will be slightly different between circumcised and uncircumcised men, but both are quite similar. Learning how to properly clean your penis can help you maintain optimal health and cleanliness.
The foreskin is the sheath of skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis. At birth, the foreskin is fully attached to the penis. In time, the foreskin separates and can be retracted (pulled back). This can usually be done by the age of about two. Sometimes, the foreskin separates later. Occasionally, the foreskin doesn’t separate evenly and areas remain stuck to the glans. These attachments almost always resolve by puberty.

While it is more common for women to get yeast infections, it is also possible for men to contract a genital yeast infection,
usually after having unprotected affairs with a partner who is already infected. The infection usually appears on the skin outside the penis.
Penile yeast infections affect men who are uncircumcised more than those who are circumcised. This is because a circumcised penis exposes the glans
to air, keeping it dry and cool, while yeast requires heat and moisture to grow and survive.
