How Can small White Patches On The Penile Shaft Be Treated?

Okay so I am Uncircumcised and 14 years old and I started seeing white patches of something on the head of my penis which I m not sure if it s a smegma or what. And there s also seems to be yellow clumps under the foreskin as well which I am also sure that smegma is white not yellow , and I do shower and clean everyday but I just went camping for 2 days without cleaning and I noticed this all when I got back. Thanks

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Yes, this may be smegma or some dermatologic disease but also fungal infections may be considered. I think that you should apply Nistatin cream for 1 week and keep a good hygiene. Also, if there wont be improvement it woul dbe good to see dermatologist or urologist for further evaluation. You should during the shower gently remove all white patches and clean it with mild soap and warm water. After this pull back foreskin to cover penis head.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
