What Causes White Spots On Foreskin?
Hi , i am 30 years old . I have been sexually active for about 15 years, Ive had at least 20 partners . Some of them I have dated more than a few years so we had unprotected sex. I have tight white spotted foreskin for the last few months . Slowly but surely it dissipated and forms further down the shaft. What should I do?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Tight foreskin with white spots could be mostly due to what is called as Ballanitis Xerotica Obliterance however it needs to be confirmed by clinical examination in person by a qualified Urologist .
It is a progressive disease that gradually involves urethra shaft of the penis and is a variant of Lichen Sclerosis .Unfortunately there is no effctive medicine to cure it permanently .
Using topical steroid cream does help to slow down the progress of the the disease .
