  5. I've been having this issue with my penis where the skin feels sticky and it's really itchy. It's also a bit painful to pull back the skin. There's some white sticky substance on the head of my penis, which looks like dried semen but isn't. I don't have any problems with erections or urination, but it's been like this for 3 days now. What should I do to treat it?
