Penis skin issue

Hi everyone, the skin in my penis is flaky and glossy, and I'm having these white thingies, that according to my doctor are forcyde spots, around, and nothing hurts or feels uncomfortable. However it think it makes my penis look unhygienic or unhealthy. The skin on the head looks like it will fall off. Idk what to do

It sounds like you have 2 different things - the Fordyce spots, which are normal and very common, and something happening on the head of your penis.

What did your doctor say about that? That sounds like a fungal infection, or perhaps eczema/dermatitis.

Are the white spots on your shaft, or around the head of your penis? If they are around the head, they might be pearly penile papules, which are also normal and common.

Fordyce spots are a natural part of your anatomy. They’re present at birth, but they aren’t usually noticeable until puberty when hormonal changes enlarge them.
Fordyce spots usually don’t need treatment. But remedies are available if you want to remove the spots for cosmetic reasons.
