I have white tiny particles on penis skin. What is the cause?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from white tiny particles on penis skin and itching forehead skin. What is the cause? What is the solution? I am currently applying Candid B (Beclometasone and Clotrimazole).

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

I have noted your concern, and I have viewed the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have Fordyce spots. These are sebaceous glands without an opening and appear as yellowish white granules on prepuce undersurface. It is just a sometimes concern and does not require any intervention. Itching may be due to a yeast infection. I suggest you take oral Fluconazole 150 mg tablet once a day for three days. Topically, you may continue with Candid B (Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole) cream, twice daily for a week.

Thank you for consulting me.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I want to clear it up. Is it a serious issue and has any side effects?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

It is not a serious issue. It is just a cosmetic issue. Fordyce spots are quite common. For itching, you may use Candid B cream twice daily for a week. In addition, I suggest you take an oral antifungal like tablet Fluconazole 150 mg once a day for three days.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
