Just like the vagina, the foreskin contains a culture of protective bacteria. And just like when women douche, you upset the balance of that culture when you wash your penis with soap (or dip it in mouthwash) and it leads to infections. It also irritates the delicate, soft tissues of the genitalia.
Soap kills bacteria, but not yeast (which is a fungus called Candida Albicans) which leads to overgrowth and eventually, a full blown yeast infection. The symptoms are similar to female yeast infections: itchiness and a strong, fishy smell (no discharge, though). The more you wash it, the worse it gets.
If you have a yeast infection, go to your pharmacy and grab a tube of antifungal cream. Men`s or Women`s will work. It`s the same stuff. Follow the directions on the box.
And for God`s sake stop scrubbing your penis and dipping it in mouthwash. All you need to do to keep it clean is give it a good rinse with warm water.1 1 0 0This may shock you dude, But, The reason your dick smells of pee

Seriously? you need to wash it better and every 24-48 hours at least, soap+water, if you have foreskin, pull it back to wash.

yes, like pee and then like fish especially if you had semen dry on there.
