im not circumcized but like every other day or so there is some kinda weird subtance like candle wax when the foreskin is pulled back,... is this normal or could it be some sort of std ? i looked up symthoms in males for stds and im not having white drainage at the tip nor does it burn when i urinate... what could this be??

It`s dead skin cells, called smegma. Just pull back the foreskin and wash gently. You don`t have an STD...

Smegma is the correct answer. Perfectly normal in the uncircumcised male. Perfectly socially unacceptable in our hyper-clean-freak society. Washes off with very mild soap/water. Look it up somewhere like webmd.com

do you bath every day? Just pull back the forskin and wash every day, and dry. Also, it could just be yeast. if that is the case, then Atomidine (stings) would get rid of it. So would Neem oil (doesn't sting but smells like burnt garlic).

you need to clean it more. its sweat, urine build up and fuzz particles from your underwear. make sure to clean it with baby wipes or personal wipes each time you have intercourse urinate or working out and you sweat. it will go away if you take care of it.

it's called "head cheese" and is just a normal inconvenience
for the uncircumsized. Main thing is, keep that stuff cleaned
out of there, it smells and if you don't stay cleaner than "every
other day" it can lead to nasty stuff growing that ain't natural.

If you masturbate frequently it could be semen.
