What Causes White Dots In Clusters Under The Foreskin?
I am a 14 year old virgin, and lately as I have been stretching my foreskin, I have phimosis, I have notice tiny white dots in clusters underneath my foreskin. They also seem to be inside. I am almost positive they are not Fordyces spots, or smegma. I really don't want to ask one of my parents because they normally jump to conclusions. I am almost 5 foot 9 inches and am 49 kg. Please help.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to smegma.
As it's asymptomatic, so no need of active management.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Use plain water while washing.
Avoid harsh cosmetic products.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
