Question : I noticed white clumped spots on the area between behind the head of my penis and the foreskin attached to it. When I touch it, it doesnt hurt and feels like small grains. I wanted to know if you had an idea of what it might be?
Brief Answer:
Probably penile papules.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I also reviewed the attached report.
There are several medical conditions that can cause your symptoms.
Other information that I may need to help through the diagnosis is:
Do you have penile discharge?
Do you have pain while urinating?
Are you sexually active?
The most common cause is penile papules. Penile papules are usually harmless and don't require treatment.
Based on the fact that the symptoms can also be related to STI I suggest you to do STI tests for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am not sexually active so I dont think its an STI. Also my urine does not burn, it has burned a couple times but it was before this happend. I dont think I have penile discharge, the only time there is a discharge is during masturbation. I was doing some research on it and i came across penile yeast infection. I could attach a more clear photo if you need.
Brief Answer:
Yeast infection can also be the cause of your symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, again dear,
Your symptoms can be related to penile yeast infection.
Yeast infection is very common because Candida is normally present on the skin.
I suggest you wash and dry frequently the area, hygiene is very important in this case.
I also recommend you to use topical medication such as Monistat (miconazole).
If the symptoms continue I suggest using oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (Diflucan) for three days, one tablet a day.
It is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor about this treatment.
Take care dear,
