Patient's question:
What are those white spots on the side of my glans?Doctor's answer:
A white spot at the base of the glans is a relatively common condition of balanitis in men. However, there are many factors that can cause white spots on the glans, including the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases due to unsafe sexual practices, balanoposthitis caused by excessive foreskin and invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and other reasons such as pearly penile papules due to poor local hygiene, among others.
