Brief Answer: Penis becoming white Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic, From your description I assume that your tip of penis under the foreskin develops white colored membrane like discharge which you clean every day with soap, but returns again the next day. Is that right ? If this is what you have it seems like smegma. Every man will produce a white secretion called smegma from glands around foreskin called Tyson's glands. This is normal and not a disease. You should retract the foreskin during bath and with your finger wipe off the smegma under running water on a daily basis. You need not use soap. Ointments cannot decrease smegma production. Hope this helped, I will be happy to clear any further doubts you have. Take care.

Brief Answer: White patch on penis Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome back, You have a feature to upload the images of the patch by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your query better. You can also send the image as attachment to YYYY@YYYY , with the subject as 'Attn: Dr. Johny Chacko'. Please do not worry about the privacy of photograph as this site is safe. Itching sensation could be due to fungal infection called candidiasis. I usually treat candidiasis with candid cream application twice a day and Tablet Fluconazole 75 mg daily for 7 days. White patch could be vitiligo or LSEA. If you can send a photo it will be very useful. Hope this helped, Take care.
