Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Its likely to be due to Balanoposthitis with tight prepuce and inspissated smegma.

I would suggest the following

1. Hot Seitz bath: Add a handful of salt in a small tub of warm water. Sit in it for 15-20 minutes, before taking bath. Pull back the skin gently and clean the whitish secretion known as smegma. Repeat it twice a day. take a good bath after it
2. Rule out Diabetis mellitus by getting Blood sugar level done.

3. dry the skin well after hot bath__ Apply mixture of Betamethasone and Clotrimazole ointment over the glans after pulling back the prpuce. Replace the prepuce to its normal position after thoroughly applying the ointment

4. Good personal Hygeine and maintaining area clean and dry especially after voiding

Wishing you happy and healthy life
