Brief Answer:
I think this could be a genital yeast infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for writing in healthcare magic.

Based on your symptoms and on your picture I think that this could be a genital yeast infection.
Usually, the yeast infection in male(balanitis) could cause areas of shiny, white skin on the penis, redness, itching or a burning sensation on the penis.

You should know that males could have balanitis from a yeast infection because of using antibiotics for prolonged periods, having diabetes, having an impaired immune system, are overweight, sexual intercourse with an infected female, or having a poor hygiene.

Furthermore, in this case, it's advisable to meet an ID specialist to define the diagnosis and to start an anti fungal treatment.

I hope my answer helps you. Feel free to ask further.

Regards.
