Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query on this platform. I can understand your concern. According to your description, there is a white patch on the head of your penis.

White patch on head of penis can develop from various reasons. It can be harmless pimples or skin lesion due to minor frictions or trauma. Again, it can be penile papules or Fordyce spots that are harmless conditions and don't need any medical treatment. Deficiency of calcium, vitamin D and E may cause white patch. Some disease conditions like Balanitis, yeast infections, vitiligo, Sexually transmitted diseases like HPV or human papillomavirus, lichen Sclerosus etc may cause such type of white patch on penis.

Depending on the cause, white patch on head of penis may present with some associated with other symptoms like itching, soreness etc.

If you have no associated features with your white patch, then there is nothing to be worried at all. It will disappear over time on its own. You can take vitamin supplements containing calcium, vitamin D, E etc.

But, if this white patch persists for long time or develop any complications, then you should consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment purposes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
