I've been feeling this burning sensation inside the skin of my penis after masturbating, and it's kind of worrying me. Plus, after a while, there's this white substance that appears when I move the skin, and honestly, it's pretty uncomfortable and making it hard for me to masturbate. What could this be, and should I be concerned about it?

it might be some fungal infection,keep that area clean. Avoid moisture in that area
