Sometimes I am getting itching.

White spots on skin from past 3 to 4 months and these are increasing day by day I think.

Pimples on penis I identified one week back.

Is there any major problem.Please suggest me the treatment

Brief Answer:
Topical steroid and antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Fexofenadine 180 mg once daily at bedtime for 2-3 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
