Hi doctor,
I am feeling slightly itchy on penis. I am worried because I have once had unprotected sex. I am fine from a long time, and the itching is very mild but my mind goes there again and again.

Thank you doctor,

Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed the clinical photographs attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like balanitis. Small skin-colored lesions (outgrowth) are nothing but Fordyce spots which are basically prominent sebaceous glands. So, no treatment is required for the same. For itching, consider the application of the following:
Clean the area with lukewarm water.

Thank you doctor,
There are white flakes of skin. Itching is very mild. I hope this is nothing serious. Kindly help.

There is nothing to worry about. Just apply the two creams suggested above twice a day.
