What Causes Itchiness And White Discharge From The Penis?
Hi, I am an uncircumcised 21 year old male and a few days ago I noticed a weird itching and uncomfortable feeling with my penis and today I noticed a white discharge under the foreskin. I cleaned it and I always make sure I clean my penis well in the shower so idk why this is happening. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Presence of itching in genital area and white discharge from penis suggests possibility of sexually transmitted infections. These infections are often acquired during unprotected sexual encounters with someone who is already infected.
It is good practice to clean the area with soap water but it is not enough to get cure from infection. In my opinion you need to see a sexologist as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Smegma accumulates underneath the foreskin and it could cause itching, inflammation or even infection. Keep the area clean always.
