Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .

A long standing white spot on foreskin gradually increasing in size is mostly due to what is called as Ballanitis Xerotica Oblitarance .(BXO)

This is a variant of Lichen Planus ,

It needs to be confirmed by clinical examination in person by a qualified Urologist .

It is progressive disease and unfortunately there is mo medicine that can cure this disease .

Using topical steroid cream does help to slow down the further progress of the disease .
