What Causes White Layered Growth And Pain On Penis Foreskin?

I am having a strange problem for the first time in my life. i am 27 years old. Suddenly one day i discovered that there is a white layer on my penis under my foreskin, on the glans (glands). I had pain on the foreskin when i was pulling it back to clean it with water. the layer was pretty thick and needed time to get off. i used to clean with warm water but keeps coming back daily. Also when i rub the layer off or wash it away, My foreskin becomes extremely dry and develops cuts as the skin tears apart and takes time to heal and repeats every time. Also some kind or mild burning on my foreskin on inner layer. and the pain grows when my penis is erect. i cannot bare the pain to get my foreskin back when erect. i dont have any sex. please advise me a cure & also the reason for the same.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that formation of thick white layer under the foreskin of penis along with cuts and dryness and burning pain and pain during erection is pointing towards a condition known as Mucocutaneous thrush that is a fungal/yeast infection..d s
The symptoms you are experiencing are simulating with the symptoms of thrush..

I would suggest you to consult an Infectious Medicine Specialist or an Internal Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and he can advise you a urethral swab culture and also do microscopic examination of the white layer for confirmation..

In case if thrush is confirmed as the diagnosis you can be advised a course of oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole or Itraconazole.
You can also be advised topical antifungal ointments like Clotrimazole..
Keep the area clean and dry..
Wear clean and cotton undergarments..
Take more of probiotics like Yoghurt in diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
