Dear Practo User,
I understand this might be uncomfortable to discuss, but based on what you’re describing — cuts/marks on the penis and a whitish coating on the foreskin — the most likely possibilities could include:
• Balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin and glans) — often due to poor hygiene, infections (fungal/yeast like Candida), irritants, or underlying skin conditions.
• Fungal infection — the whitish material could be yeast buildup, sometimes accompanied by itching or burning.
• Small tears/fissures — can occur from friction during sex/masturbation, dryness, or tight foreskin (phimosis).
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) — certain STIs can cause ulcerations or whitish discharge, though fungal causes are more common.
Basis this few more details are required basis which we’ll be in a better position to guide and assist you further.
