Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM

Usually, there will be a white creamy layer on glans penis (rounded head of the penis), is called smegma formed by a combination of shed epithelial cells, oily secretion from glans penis and moisture.
Formation of smegma is normal phenomenon. But it is associated with rash, itching foul smel then there is a possibility of infection.

Are you diabetic??? Since how many days your suffering?? Have you using any drugs? Are you married???

Common possibility according to your history is your suffering from balanitis due to yeast infection but as such you told Al tests are negative.

What about culture of creamy layer, wet mount.
Treatment :
1.Till that time take Candid b gel for local application.
2.maitain good personal hygiene.
3.avoid new cosmetics may cause allergy.

Consult your doctor if symptoms not improved.
