Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The itching may be related to a fungal infection that can occur on the head of the penis. This can take a few weeks to resolve because fungi are slow responding.
An antifungal cream , applied twice daily, would help with this eg ketoconazole, miconazole, econazole.

The white things that you are seeing may be smegma which is a substance that can be found under the foreskin. You need to continue trying to remove it at least twice daily.

If the foreskin is too tight to clean the glans properly then you may want to consider circumcision.

I hope this helps

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may have balanitis which is inflammation/irritation of the glans of the penis, this may be associated with a fungal infection in some cases.

You may need to consider the use of an antifungal cream or powder to help to relieve you symptoms.

This can take 2 to 3 weeks in some cases.

I hope this helps
