Generally, smegma is something most commonly associated with uncircumsized men that is a substance found under the foreskin.
It is a white substance that varies from white and filmy to 'cheesy' and thick. Smegma has also been referred to as 'head cheese' or 'cheesy dick.' Smegma has an unpleasant odor, some have compared it to the smell of rotten fish.
Smegma is nothing more than the build up of dead skin and secretions of the urethra and glans, as well as urine (and semen residue if the male is old enough and sexually active) deposits trapped under the foreskin. If anything it is a sign that the penis has not been washed... in a while.
Smegma is the number one sign that an uncircumcised (uncut) male is not properly washing his penis. If the foreskin is not pulled back, exposing the head (glans) and washed with mild soap and warm water, the secretions will build up, trapped under the foreskin and resemble a thick cheese type appearance.
If an uncircumcised man has good hygiene, bathes regularly and pulls back his foreskin and washes his penis properly smegma will not be present.
Over the years smegma has been thought of as a 'constant' or 'standard' thing with all uncircumcised (uncut) males. That all men with foreskin have smegma. While this is not completely true, it's not completely false.
A more accurate statement is that uncircumcised men are more likely to have smegma under their foreskin than men who are circumcised.

Does smegma ever go?
There is no current available way to PREVENT smegma FOREVER. The only way to get rid of it is to rinse or wash it, which is temporary. To get rid of the smegma, you have to rinse the area that contains the smegma with warm water and mild soap. If there is irritation, discontinue mild soap, and use warm water instead. Don't use anything sharp or dense, like cotton swabs. You may use your fingers but use them GENTLY.
