Why has the tip of my penis turned white?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old male. Yesterday, I noticed my tip of the penis becoming white. I do not know the cause but the most part of it is white. I am not getting 100% erection also. It looks like the growth of the penis has also stopped. Can you suggest why is this happening? I am not sexually active. Sometimes, I get an erection but only for very less time.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need to maintain strict personal hygiene. You can wear loose cotton comfortable undergarments. Get physically examined and investigated to rule out any medical problem and treat accordingly. Is there any pain or itching? A course of antifungals might be considered. Please attach a picture to guide you in detail.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Growth majorly happens until 20 years. There is no specific diet. You must get physically examined. Get investigated to rule out any medical problem and treat accordingly including hemogram, blood sugar, blood pressure, thyroid profile, urine routine, semen analysis, VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory), and hepatitis, etc. I suggest a course of antifungal like tablet Fluconazole 150 mg once daily after meals for one week unless otherwise contraindicated must be taken. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Topical ointment like Candid (Beclometasone Topical and Clotrimazole Topical) may be used unless otherwise contraindicated. Strict hygiene must be maintained. Wear loose cotton comfortable undergarments and clothes. Avoid masturbation and sexual contact if any for a while.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
