if you are uncircumscised pull the skin back and wash the head under the shower.
in general all smelly body problems can be fixed with soap and water

If you are uncircumcised, pull your foreskin right back to expose the groove under the head, then wash it carefully with mild soap and warm water until the smell disappears. The smell is caused by smegma, which is an unpleasant cheese-like substance which builds up behind the foreskin of uncircumcised men. For such men very regular washing (at least 3 times per day) is essential for good hygiene. You would be most unlikely to have an odour from your penis if you were circumcised and you should consider asking your parents about getting it done. If you are by chance already circumcised AND have penile odour, then either your hygiene is extremely lax or (more likely) you have a problem and need to see a doctor.

If you are uncircumcised you need to pull back the foreskin and wash the head thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. Do it under the shower in the morning. Then wash it the same way 2 or 3 times again each day.
If you are circumcised and are washing your whole body including your bottom, your balls, under and on top, and your penis you shouldn't be having any odor. You can also use body wash as well as bacterial soap. One shower a day should be enough.
The ultimate solution to the smell of an uncut penis is circumcision. It is the best way to go. Go for it. Talk to your parents and your family doctor. When you are 18 you make your own decision. Cleaning is simplified but you will still need soap and water once a day for all parts of your body including your new, nice looking penis.

It could be one of many things. Contrary to what most people think, being circumcised doesn't necessarily eliminate smell. Good hygiene is still necessary.
If you're uncircumcised, pull back your foreskin and wash the glans (penis head) and the inner part of the foreskin with mild soap and water everytime you shower. After you're done, you may want to dry that area with a towel. Note that washing the area too much could lead to redness, irritation, and an odor. If this doesn't seem like it's enough (and it usually is) you could retract your foreskin while you pee and wipe any excess urine on like a piece of toilet paper or the back of your hand (you're going to wash your hands anyway).
If none of this works or if you're circumcised and you keep the area clean, then the problem might be something else. It could be an infection, in which case you'll need oral or topical cream medication. It could also be diet. For some people if they eat really unhealthily or certain foods, they develop a smell. If you're still stumped after all this, perhaps you should go see your doctor for an opinion.

Assuming you're cut, then wash with warm water and mild liquid soap. If uncut, pull that foreskin back all the way and run that water on it hard. After drying off, splash your dick with plenty of witch hazel. this will help if done daily. You can overcome that odor. does it smell like stale tuna fish???? Then it's smegma.
Get started on this project and you'll be happier. So will everyone around you.

GET CIRCUMCIZED - I DID AT AGE 28
No regrets, I had prev bad smell even after washing lots and only 1/2 an hour later
Now i have no smegma, no pubes between the foreskin, I can aim straight with out the skin getting in the way, my orgasms are more intense, my ex thought it was bigger than being uncirced and no she was reluctant in me getting done as so was I for medical reasons, but I have NO regrets only I wish it was done tigher- No smell neither - the pain isn't that bad after being circed.
it was more than worth it

Soap and water perhaps , and if you're not already, a circumcision to rid you of this cheesy situation.
