Patient's question:
I have a white spot on my glans, next to the urethral opening, about the size of a soybean. It's not visible when erect. What could this be? I used to have mycoplasma infection.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there are small white spots on the glans without pain or itching, it could be caused by bartholinitis or phimosis, which are common in uncircumcised males. These spots, known as penile pearls, appear on the edge of the glans, are the same color as the skin or white, and are arranged in a uniform, orderly pattern. They are small, rice-grain-sized papules without inflammation or any discomfort. This condition is common in males after puberty and is normal, requiring no treatment and no need to panic. If the diagnosis is not confirmed, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the diagnosis before targeted treatment.
