White marks on my Penis head

by helpme201, Nov 02, 2009 06:56PM
Hi
Hi im 31 years of age and in the last year I have started getting white spots on the right side of my penis head.
Then a white oval shaped mark that is pinkish in the middle had appeared on the left side of my penis head.
I was wondering what this might be and what can i do 2 get rid of this.
I have read a few different things that it might be pearly penile papules or trush.
Surely there is a cream or something u can take 2 over come this.
When I was younger i got smegma and was able to take a cream to get rid of it.
I feel embarresed about this and it is effecting my sex life.
Can you please help me, thanks

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.
The other possibility is of vitiligo. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.

Hello,
Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine, ketaconazole and clotrimazole. You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
