Hello,
The white cakey element can be related to a bacterial infection.
I suggest using hydrogen peroxide to treat the infection.
I also suggest using Neosporin cream for local application and cover it with a clean bandage.
I recommend taking anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
