I've been noticing a white layer forming under the skin of my penis for the past week. The skin feels tighter than usual, and it's becoming difficult to pull it back. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and how do I treat it?

You may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
