Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination. From your decription, my best differential diagnosis would be a sebaceous cyst but cant anything for sure
unless I get to see the lesions.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
with subject titled ' ATTN Dr Hardik Pitroda'.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Needle extirpation

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the picture and Sorry for late reply.
Though the picture is not very clear but i think of two possibilities here:
1. Penile milia: It kind of small benign cyst with whitish contents.
2. Penile comedones:Comedone is a like blackhead/whitehead formed due to blockage of sebaceous gland duct as in acne.

The best treatment for either of the case would be needle extirpation i.e removal of contents with help of fine needle. Make sure you get this treatment done by a certified dermatologist only.

I am sure you will be fine soon.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
----

Detailed Answer:
Needle extirpation is a very simple procedure with no side effects.
Though its slightly painful, you can also get it done under local/topical anesthesia.
I am afraid no creams will help you in this regards and moreover the creams which can be used are generally not recommended for use over sensitive areas like genitals because of their tendency to cause irritation.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
