Fordyce spots

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have reviewed the image.

The yellowish white raised lesion seems like a fordyce spot to me. Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands on the undersurface of prepuce which appear yellowish white. These are quite common on prepuce in males and labia minora in females.
No active intervention is required.
