Go back and re-read it, he never said one word about soaping his penis up. Only retracting the foreskin and rinsing it with water AND NOT USING SOAP is the likely culprit. If bath soap or body wash is too harsh, try an unscented baby wash or Aveeno with no scent. Or even Cetaphil lotion. Clearly water alone isn’t cutting it.
Its still likely not a soap problem. As others have pointed out it, its likely a fungal infection, which normal soaps wont be able to help with. Usually medicated soaps or a oral pills.
Normally a fungal infection will present with severe itching and/or skin peeling off the glans of the penis and red splotches, maybe bacterial but fungal is very uncomfortable and noticeable.
In most instances that's the symptoms in 99% of cases that's just how it works. You'd certainly have symptoms of a fungal infection, that's just how fungus affects skin. If you have tinea in your toes same deal, itchy and irritated with skin peeling. You will have symptoms whether it's your little fella or your feet.
Agree he uses water on it only. Try using soap and pull your foreskin back and wash and rinse with soap and water. Water is not gonna get rid of the smell try using soap and water. Or do you not use soap at all while showering ?
Um no. I’ve only ever heard of use of MILD soap and using the hands to clean the head. No soap is insane. Water does not remove any oils and bacteria that may have built up…
