I am uncircumsized. I've done a good job of keeping it clean under the skin, but right now the head of my penis is covered by white powdery stuff and I can hardly pull the foreskin back. I dont get erect near as much as I did before this happeend. It has been like this for about a week now. Is there any cream or stuff that I could use? Any help is much much appreciated!!

Is there any pain or swelling going on as well? Could that be why you can't retract your foreskin like usual? I'm not sure, but this sounds like it may be an infection, possibly even a yeast infection. Someone else may know exactly, hopefully someone else will respond. I wouldn't let this stay like this for long though, may need to consult with a doc.

I agree with Lance. Sounds like a yeast or similar infection. See a doctor but if circumcision is the first treatment offered see someone else or try some cream from a pharmacy.

what type of cream did you use for a yeast infection? I have also heard that it could be balanitis. What type of cream could I use for that? My g/f said that it probably is a yeast infection, b/c there is a lot of itching that goes on. any info will help.
