White creamy substance developing under
Since a few months i noticed that some smelly white creamy layer gets accumulated just under the foreskin. I clean that thing daily and this way I don't feel any other symptoms but if I forget to clean it for 1 full day then next day again i do see a small layer.
It doesn't get itchy when cleansed regularly but if left uncleaned for a day or two it starts getting itchy a bit and accumulation increases.
Can somebody guide what exactly it can be, it it some infection? And which specialist can help with it like dermatologist or some other?
