I am noticing a white substance around my penis, and when I try to clean it, it causes pain, and there is a small cut on the head. Over the past week, I have also seen some white patches, and they burn when I touch them. What could this be and how should I treat it?

White substance with pain, small cuts, and burning on the head of the penis may suggest a fungal or bacterial infection and should not be ignored. Keep the area clean and dry, wash gently with water, and avoid harsh soaps or forceful cleaning, as it can worsen irritation. Do not apply random creams, as some may worsen the problem if they are not suitable. It is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal or other medicines.

Redness or rash on the penis can be due to infection, allergy, poor hygiene, or irritation from soaps or tight clothing. Keep the area clean and dry, wash gently with water, and avoid using harsh products or scented soaps. Do not apply random creams, as some may worsen the condition if not suitable. If the rash persists, spreads, or causes pain or discharge, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
