What's the matter with vaginal cramps and small white spots?

The appearance of small white dots on the penis may be caused by pearly penile papules, ectopic sebaceous glands, folliculitis, condyloma acuminata or fungal infection, etc. Targeted treatment is required according to the specific cause.

1. Pearly penile papules:

Small pearl-like white particles commonly seen on the edge of the coronal sulcus are benign hyperplasia and are related to poor local hygiene or excessive foreskin. Usually no treatment is required, but if it affects the appearance, it can be removed by laser or freezing.

2. Ectopia of sebaceous glands:

It appears as pinpoint-sized light yellow or white particles and is caused by abnormal development of sebaceous glands. It usually occurs on the inside of the foreskin or glans. It is painless and itchy. Generally, no special treatment is needed to avoid excessive cleaning and stimulation.

3. Folliculitis:

Redness and swelling around hair follicles caused by bacterial infection may be accompanied by white pus spots. It is often caused by shaving injury or sweat stimulation. Topical antibiotic ointment such as mupirocin ointment can be used to keep the local area dry and clean.

4. Genital warts:

Cauliflower-like growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may initially appear as small white particles. It is contagious and needs to be treated by freezing, electrocautery or photodynamic therapy, and the infection of sexual partners needs to be checked.

3. Fungal infection:

Candida infection can cause a white membrane on the glans penis accompanied by a red rash, which is common in people with diabetes or low immunity. Antifungal medications such as clotrimazole cream should be used, and tight, airtight underwear should be avoided.

Daily care should be taken to clean the vulva with warm water every day and avoid using irritating lotions.； Choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it daily ； Use condoms during sex to reduce the risk of infection. If the white spots continue to enlarge, ulcerate, or are accompanied by abnormal secretions, you need to see a dermatology or urology department promptly for a clear diagnosis through acetic acid whitening test, secretion detection, etc. It is recommended that circumcision be performed after puberty for patients with excessive foreskin to reduce the accumulation of secretions and the probability of infection. Reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods in the diet, and supplement the vitamin B family appropriately to enhance skin resistance.
