Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query.
Do you see white dry flakes coming off the area? Do you have such white patches anywhere else on the body? Do you have penile discharge or burning urination?
However I suggest you to upload a good picture from the upload feature available to you on the right side of this page. This gives better picture. White patches can be from autoimmunity, infection, trauma as well. So I suggest a good picture taken under bright light to be able to guide you further.
Awaiting picture.
