Hi, Ive Noticed This Small White Spot On My Penis

default
Posted on Sun, 1 Dec 2019
Question: Hi, ive noticed this small white spot on my penis and can%E2%80%99t identify what it is. U%E2%80%99ve had unprotected sex a couple times in the past few months but i cant remember if that spot has been there before or not. It doesn%E2%80%99t hurt and I don%E2%80%99t feel it which is why i never noticed it or thought anything of it until now. Is this something i need to worry about?

Brief Answer:
Regarding white spot on glans

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

It is certainly not related to unprotected sex. It could be post inflammatory hypopigmentation as it is lighter than normal skin but not completely white. I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for a few weeks.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
