Hello,
White patches that form on the penis could be a sign of lichen sclerosus. It's a skin condition that's more common in those who aren't circumcised.
In addition to white spots that grow larger as the disease progresses, the skin of the penis can also become itchy and more fragile.
Therefore I suggest consulting a skin specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
