Question: Hello Sir,

Request to the Urologist.

I have noticed at the inner cap of my penis having some white layer at some portion. Attached the image of the part. No itching or any specific abnormality due to this so far. But worried what is it and what should I do.

If you don't see proper results, you might be needing couple of investigations which should include a thorough physical examination.

Thanks
