I have seen this too, sounds a lot like what this gentleman is explaining. Although now it is beginning to sort of detach as well. It is white, pieces of skin, they don't hurt, or itch, and they are right at the base of my head. Any thoughts?
It could ONLY be the symptom of something else other than HPV, as my original answer stated.
Please ask the doctor who prescribed the Aldara to give you a definitive--and presumably reassuring--answer.

Dear Dr. Rockoff,
After having purchased and applied Aldera for several days in a row - I found NO change in my dotted white growth at the base of the head of my penis. Seems Aldera is totally ineffective in my case.
They appear to be slightly spreading from where they normally used to be - and that is why I am concerned. Could this be anything else but the symptom of an HPV ?

You are describing "pearly penile papules." They look just the way you describe them and are common, insignificant, and untreatable.
You need to make up your mind that these are normal and pose no bar to a healthy relationship. If you need a doctor to examine you or a counselor to work with you to achieve this, then you ought to consult either or both.
Best.
Dr. Rockoff
