What Causes White Spots On The Penis Head And Burning Urination?
Question: I think I have a UTI. For the last few days, I have had soreness and redness around my foreskin and penis head, but nowhere else on my genitals. Sometimes, but not always, I feel pain and burning when urinating; this has become worse over the last couple of days. I have also tended to need to urinate more often than normal, sometimes twice in quick succession.
A couple of weeks ago, a couple of prominent white spots appeared on my penis head, lasted for a few days, then gradually disappeared. The pain when urinating has developed since then.

Can I buy the antibiotic you mentioned, or is it prescription only?
Yesterday, when I posted the question, the general soreness had become very intense. Today, it is vastly less intense and almost gone, and the burning when urinating has gone.
Re diabetes - I last had a blood sugar test about three years ago; there was no problem then. I'll try and get another ASAP.
