Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Dry white patches in penis shaft are usually fungal infections. Scratching them will lead to blister formation and there might be some bleeding and burning sensation. There may be super aided bacterial infection. Moisturizers will subside the symptoms only and don't heal the lesion.
I advise you to apply triple action ointment(containing Clobetasol, Neomycin ,Miconazole) over it. Keep the area clean and dry.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
