>My circ was done pretty loosely - ie. the corona is covered most of the day by skin - and now I am at the stage where I can shower without discomfort such that the penis can be blasted by water and that is okay. The only thing is that I have a lot of smegma built up just below the corona and I am having difficulty getting rid of it. I suspect most of it has been accumulated over the years of me never washing my penis properly when I had a foreskin and it just won't budge! I am blasting it with water but nothing comes off....I am still a little hesitant about trying to scrub the area directly but is this what needs to be done? I thought running water over the area would be enough!
Try using a bulb syringe. Fill it with water and you can aim it right where you need to, like using a leaf blower. That or you ought to be able to gently grasp it and pull away or lightly scratch at it with your fingernail. As long as you aren't digging into skin (and you will KNOW when that ahppens) it should be fine.
