Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on the description of a white patch at the glans penis I think you have what is termed as Ballanitis Xerotica Obleterance (BXO).

However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified Urologist.

It is a progressive disease and has tendency to involve foreskin,urethra and glans penis .One needs to take proper long term treatment to avoid further spread and involves glans penis and urethra.

Using topical Steroid cream will help to arrest the further progress of the disease ..
