A member asked:

Is u have a white or kindda dry look on ur penis shaft, what does that means? fungi bacteria? , when is wet it turns normal but dry is white and itchy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked out: It could be many things. Scabies, yeast, reaction to condoms. I would change condoms (if you're using them), try an over the counter jock itch medication and if not better see a urologist.
