What Causes White Crust Under The Foreskin?

Hello, i am a male gender. Recently Ive been sexually active with my girlfriend and something weird has started to develop on my penis. I didn t pay it mind at first but now its turned into white crust under my forskin and the white crust has created my skin to open up almost a wound. My hygiene is very important to me so im always making sure im well showered. But the crust is not coming from normal day wear and tear its appearing a lot faster than that. What could it all mean ?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may be smegma formation if you are not circumcised and if you are circumcised then it may be fungal infection and it can be well managed with Miconazole ointment, if this fails to respond then better to see the dermatologist hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
