What Causes Painless White Spot On My Penis?

Hello and good afternoon. Just recently I ve noticed a small sized white spot on the shaft of my penis. It s only in one spot - mid shaft, and is neither hard or painful. My concern is that it is becoming more pronounced in its discoloration. My nurtural skin tone is brown and I noticed the circle a few months ago. Today it just seems whiter and maybe a bit larger, but still rather small. Fungus or Vitiligo?

Hello
Thanks fr query,
You have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst on the shaft of the penis.

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed it has to be excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac).
