The white color near your anus could be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. Here's a possible solution:

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications

Clotrimazole cream: An antifungal cream that can help clear up the infection.

Miconazole cream: Another antifungal cream that can be effective.

Home Remedies

Keep the area clean: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water.

Dry the area: Pat dry with a clean towel.

Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area.

I've been dealing with a really painful situation for the last couple of months. There are these small cuts on the top of my penis head that just won't heal properly. They get sticky, and it's getting harder to pull the skin back when I pee. Even when they seem to heal after about two or three days, they just reopen when the skin stretches. What should I do? I really need some advice and medication to fix this.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
