Hallo friend

As you mention that your penis was white.This may be because of collection of smegma or candida infection.
Concern is your personal hyagine. Because if it was patch of candida then that will not clean so easily.

Keep good personal hyagine.
You mentione that there is itching,which may cause by both smegma and candida infection

Canesten contain cotrimazole which is antifungal .I t will take care of your candida infection if there is ,which is less likely.

Just keep good personal hyagine .

take care
