Patient's question:
I am a mother of a child. Recently, my child told me that he suddenly noticed many very small dots in the coronal sulcus under his glans penis, and he didn't know when they appeared. I looked and found that they were growing on the glans penis in the groove below it, arranged very densely, and had the same color as the surrounding skin. The size of each dot was less than 0.2 millimeters. Since I am a woman, I don't feel comfortable asking him, so I came here for consultation. Is this how the penis is naturally, or is it due to a medical condition? My child is 14 years old.First follow-up question: Moreover, he said he has never felt anything unusual. He only noticed it recently by chance. He had never noticed it before.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: This seems to be a normal phenomenon for a mother, but it is likely caused by poor hygiene in the local area. It is recommended to use clean water for washing. If it still doesn't work, you can go to the hospital for a circumcision.
