Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
White powder/sticky like secretion is found normally within prepuce called smegma which accumilates daily. So, you have to clean your glans and penis daily with water after retracting the foreskin to prevent accumilation like this. I think it is the smegma which is confusing you with infection. So, please clean daiily for relief. If not visit a doctor for further investigation to rule out any infection. All the best. And donot rub it with towel.
