Hi,

There is white substance deposited under foreskin called as smegma which causes itching in penis. Clean it regularly by retracting back your foreskin. Drink plenty of warm water for burning while urination.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
