Brief Answer:
Could be Fordyce spots
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you are having itchy lesions on your penis.
I saw the picture attached by you.
The lesions appear to be Fordyce spots. These are just enlarged sebaceous ( oil producing ) glands on the skin. These are normal and can occur in many individuals. However, they are usually asymptomatic.
If they are itchy, I would consider other possibilities like contact dermatitis ( allergy) to condom, latex, creams ,etc which you might have used. You could apply a cream with 1 % hydrocortisone twice a day for symptomatic relief for 10 days.
Hope this helps you.
If you have any more doubts, I will be glad to answer.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Johny Chacko
