What Causes Small White Particles At The Edge Of The Penis Glans?

Hi, about a month ago I observed some very small white grains (like needle heads) just at the edge of my penis glans under the prepuce. They are just a few in number and present like a semi ring. Sometimes these grains become a little itchy as if some needles are being pushed there. Also, the smega deposited underside the glans has increased in quantity and is very foul smelling. Earlier it used to be almost negligible and without any foul smell. None of these was present before a month. Can you please help me out.

Hi,
It seems that this is due to collection of smegma on glans.
Due to non cleaning of glans there is deposition of smegma giving rise to thick collection and foul odor.
Remove collection of smegma by averting fore skin of glance gently and clean glans penis.
If there is soreness on the part, apply antibiotic cream.
Make a habit of cleaning glans by averting fore skin daily while taking shower.
Ok and take care.
