Causes of white dirt in foreskin

dirty sex life

White dirt in the foreskin may not only be due to an excessively long foreskin, but also may be due to unclean sexual life causing infection by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas, fungi, Gonococcus or other bacteria, which may lead to inflammation of the glans of the foreskin, ultimately causing white dirt on the foreskin.

The sebaceous glands of some young men's foreskin secrete abnormally strong. If you do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming white dirt like tofu dregs.
