Hello,
Yes, it could be a fungal infection, but it does not really come and go.
You have to get it examined by a dermatologist for the right diagnosis.
Also, it may be smegma, which is a cheesy secretion, that develops on uncircumcised penis.
In absence of a picture, these are the couple of possibilities. You should definitely get it examined before starting treatment.

You can apply clotrimazole cream over the area if it turns out to be an fungal infection. Add fluticasone if itching is there. For smegma, no treatment is needed. Daily cleaning of the area during shower is all you need
