What is the cause of the white spots on the foreskin?

It is a common phenomenon that small white spots grow on the foreskin. Generally, when men reach puberty, they will gradually develop small white spots on the foreskin. Of course, not all white spots are normal. In some cases, it is an infection of a disease, such as a sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, this problem makes men very troubled. So, what is the reason for the small white spots on the foreskin? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

There are many reasons for the growth of white spots on the foreskin. Some may be physiological reactions or secretions and are not diseases, but some symptoms are precursors to diseases. For such diseases, we must pay attention to treatment and examination.

1. When you find a lot of small bumps on the foreskin of the penis, they are just like the hair follicles at the bottom of the sweat hairs on the skin. This is very normal. These are probably hair follicles, but they grow on the foreskin and often do not grow sweat hairs. Some scholars also believe that this is a kind of sebaceous gland ectopia, and these bumps are sebaceous glands. Both of the above situations do not require treatment. They will not affect your sex life and sexual ability, let alone your fertility.

2. When you find some small bumps on the penis root and mons pubis, just like acne on the face, they are red, some have white spots on the head, and when you squeeze them with your hands, they have pustules like acne, then these bumps are acne. Yes, there will be acne in the perineum, in fact, this is folliculitis, just pay attention to local hygiene, wash frequently, and don't squeeze with dirty hands.

3. When you find a circle of needle-tip or rice-sized bumps in the coronal sulcus, which are not painful or itchy, some of them may have been there for several years. This is called pearly papules or rose-shaped papules, which are normal and do not require treatment.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of small white spots on the foreskin is caused by the blockage of the body's sweat gland follicles, and it has no effect on men. It will not affect sexual function or ability, nor will it cause infection. Male friends do not need to worry too much, just keep the genitals clean on a regular basis.
