What Causes White Deposit Inside The Foreskin Of My Penis?

Hi, Good Morning Doc. Recently I am noticing that I have formation of some white color fungi formation inside the foreskin of my penis. Whenever I take bath I wash it thoroughly and there is no problem till end of the day and thereafter itching will start from time to time. As a research work I noticed that if I won t take bath and if I won t wash the penis head by removing the foreskin, then the formation of white yest is more. What is the reason for this? and I am more interested to know why it is happening like this? Pl. advice

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It can be due to balanitis which is infection of the region between the glans or head of penis and foreskin. This happens because of secretions collecting when you do not take bath or maintain hygiene. Simply giving yourself regular baths will solve the problem.

If you do not take precautions then severity of balanitis will increase leading to phimosis which can cause difficulty in passing urine and having erection during sex.
