WOMAN HAS “CHEESE” DOWN THERE, WASH EVERYDAY BUT KEEPS COMING BACK

I have vulva “smegma”, I wash everyday but it always appears. Is this normal?

Hey everyone so I reviewed the FAQ’s and did not find the answer to this – which makes me really embarassed to ask in the first place.

So, I wash myself every day, but it does not matter how clean I come out of the shower, aproximately some 8 hours later (as the day goes by) this white substance always forms in between my labia.

I “scrape” it out everytime but don’t understand why it appears and what does this mean, I am a clean person I will shower daily and sometimes twice a day.

When I come out of the shower I feel my vulva is super clean and smooth but then this will appear everytime. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? I’m sorry for TMI.

Netizens’ comments

1. So, ignore any comments asserting that it’s discharge. it is smegma. It’s just a combination of dead skin cells and sebum that accumulates in folds in the skin. What you’re experiencing is normal! Literally everyone gets it, to varying degrees.
2. Totally normal. Could also be encouraged to build up quicker with TP lint too. TP don’t always leave obvious larger bits, can just leave residual lint as well. No matter, it’s normal. If it bothers you that much you could use hypoallergenic unscented wipes to freshen up a time or 2 during the day.
3. This is very very normal and natural and I’m sorry that the education system has failed us all so badly that we don’t know what our bodies naturally do. I don’t know what the scientific name is. It it’s just a buildup of oils and stuff that just gets trapped between the folds of skin.
