  5. I'm dealing with this weird issue where the skin on my penis is really sticky and itchy. Its also a bit painful when I try to pull it back. Theres this sticky, white stuff on the head that looks kind of like dried semen, but I know its not. It's been about three days now and while it doesn't mess with my erections or passing urine, it's pretty uncomfortable. What could be going on and how should I treat it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. To help relieve the symptoms of itching and pain, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
