Smegma build up...any help/suggestions?

I am 18, and I am not a very sexually active person. I have had sex with one person, and protection was used on both ends (ie, she took the pill, I wore a condom).

Over the past month or so, I have noticed that my penis is developing a significant amount of smegma, despite my efforts to kep it very clean. I shower at least once a day, and every time I do so, I clean my penis very thoroughly with soap and water.

However, within just a few hours of showering, if I rub the end of my penis, a large amount of smegma will collect. Similarly, if I masturbate, there are almost "chunks" that develop from the smegma being collected by the friction of masturbating.

I tried applying anti-biotic ointment to it, but the smegma still developed. I also tried applying a bit of baby powder to try and dry things up, as I felt that perhaps I am just a little too damp down there (I sweat a lot, especially down there, so I thought it seemed logical), but it still keeps coming back.

Does anyone have any idea what this is, and/or how it could be treated? I don't see how it could possibly be an STD, because, as I've said, I have only had sex with one person, we were both virgins, and we both had protection.

Re: Smegma build up...any help/suggestions?

This is the first sign of a yeast infection. Antibiotics make it worse. Anything over the counter for women, like monistat, will cure it, for in the neighborhood of $16. If you can't spend the $16, you can pull back the foreskin, put the glans through your underwear, and leave it like that for about 8 hours.
