White spots on foreskin
Hello,
I am 14 & uncircumsized and have white spots on my foreskin, they are seperated and small but they're there in a patch, just this one small patch. It seems like it's going away. It's not hair follicles. I don't want my penis to look ugly, so I was wondering if there is any cure or if it will just go away. They are like 3/4-1mm in diameter if that helps. Any thoughts?
I mean since none of us are doctors or anything,
we should really be able to help him out!
I wanted to be a gynocologist until someone said I'd only see the ones with festering yeast infections and such. No offense ladies.
I've got a pot of gold to trade some garden gnomes I know, to come and stick your head up your ass and turn you inside out.
Then your little white spots won't matter.
Question
On my penis, I have little white spots underneath my foreskin.
What is it? I've been too embarrassed to go to my doctor.
Answer
Little white spots under the foreskin are either normal - just little glands - or they are an infection.
The commonest kind of infection there comes from your own skin and is called thrush. It's a fungal infection and is easily cleared up with the right cream.
Usually if it's thrush there'll be a redness and itch around them, but not necessarily. This is obviously causing you concern, so I think you do need to go and see the GP and get checked to see whether or not this is something that needs treated. Of course it's embarrassing, but it's much better to be reassured so that you can stop worrying.
Yours sincerely
Dr Bob Leckridge, GP
