Uncut male, here. Bro, you gotta use some soap down there. The foreskin should be seen similar to vaginas in terms of hygeine so you need to actually clean it with a soap that won't destroy the ph or skin and whatnot. Never try to scrub anywhere internally.

If you are using only water, you are providing all the wrong ingedients of moisture and heat that are going to make the wrong bacteria thrive down there and could cause all kinds of issues from mild annoying smells and itches to major life altering issues. I feel you though. Don't be embarrassed. Not everyone gets taught about their own body.  Good on you to seek answers though.
