This cheesy white material under the foreskin is called smegma. It is mostly made up of the dead skin cells that collect under the foreskin. Everyday your body is constantly renewing its skin cells. As new cells grow the old cells fall off. You normally don't notice this since they simply fall off your body and are too small to see. However since the foreskin covers the penis head, these cells are trapped inside and accumulate to form smegma. Smegma can be prevented by simply pulling back the foreskin and washing the penis head with soap and warm water in the bath or shower.

What is is smegma?

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.

When you pull back your foreskin there are white bits what are they and is it healthy?

Sounds like smegma. It's not altogether unhealthy, but is definitely unhygienic and unattractive. Make sure you clean under there at least daily.

You have white lumps under the top of your penis where the foreskin is attached what is it?

This is normal in children, as skin cells from the inside of the foreskin fall off and migrate to the opening of the foreskin. Small white bumps along the ridge (corona) of the penis head are also normal. They are callled "pearly penile papules" and occur in about 1 out of 20 men. They are completely normal and require no treatment. Of course, if this is a new development or of it is accompanied by any other symptoms, you should see a doctor to make sure you don't have any disease or condition.
