White small dry patch of skin under foreskin

Hello and thank you for taking the time to answer my question. A quick recent medical history of myself. I was recently diagnosed and treated for molluscum is the genital area. Thankfully, it has since gone away. Around the same time I started to show signs of a male yeast infection. From advice from my uncle (who is a doctor), I began using Lotrimin. I just started today but seems like its already starting to work.

Here is my question. Underneath the foreskin of my penis I noticed a dry white patch of skin. It seems hardened. It is a bit difficult to describe. It causes no itching or irritation. It is vary small. Maybe a centimeter in length. It looks like a dry white hardened skin. It is not from the cream because I noticed it before I applied it. My question is, is this a symptom of the yeast infection or can it be something more? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very concerned. Thanks once again!

Sounds like a symptom of the yeast infection. You should bring this up to your dr. if the area does not improve or gets worse.

Does not sound like a STD. Best advice is to have an exam if you are worried.
