As a health professional, it's important to note that maintaining good hygiene is crucial for overall health, including the genital area. Here's how you can properly clean under the foreskin:
1. Wash with mild soap and water: Use a mild, unscented soap and warm water to clean the area. Avoid using harsh or heavily scented soaps as they can cause irritation.
2. Retract the foreskin gently: If the foreskin is not fully retractable, do not force it. Gently pull back the foreskin to expose the glans (head of the penis).
3. Clean the area thoroughly: Rinse the glans and the area under the foreskin with water, making sure to remove any smegma (a natural substance that can build up under the foreskin).
4. Rinse well: Ensure that all soap is thoroughly rinsed off to prevent any irritation.
5. Dry carefully: After washing, gently dry the area with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing as this can cause irritation.
6. Replace the foreskin: Gently pull the foreskin back to its original position.
7.
Regular cleaning: Make it a habit to clean under the foreskin regularly, ideally once a day or at least a few times a week.
Remember, if you experience any pain, discomfort, or notice any unusual discharge, redness, or swelling, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional.
