This can lead to a build up of smegma which is moisture, semen (dried) and other things that gets trapped there and forms a gunky cheesy like substance under his foreskin that could be causing this. Read here [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). Females can also have it too according to the article.
What should you do? Be a good girlfriend and point him towards the article and tactfully let him know that is causes both male and female genitals to smelly funny sometimes. Do it gently and you should be fine.
I mean, at least you told him as he may go through life not knowing how to care for an uncircumcized penis as it's different than a circumcized one. It will do him a favor. Point out that bathing and caring for that area is different for him than most. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
