I really can't say much without seeing it. You need to see a health care provider; if you don't have a regular one, perhaps call a dermatologist. Anyway, doesn't sound much like an STD.

If this is what is causing the white patches on your genitals, there is no danger from the condition (except that the white places are more susceptible to sunburn), and there are some treatments available.
Remember to check back and see what the doctor says though, I am only an interested amateur.
