Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The white color substance is called smegma and is a collection of urine, dust, cloth dust, sperm or semen cells etc. This happens because of lack of hygiene. I suggest you to wash the inner sides of foreskin twice or thrice a day using soap and water. This is not any fungal or other infection and therefore ointment or medicines are not required. You may consult an urologist for confirmation if you wish to do so

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to post follow up queries. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
