Small Hole In Skin Under Frenulum With White Substance In It, Unable To Squeeze The Hole. Sexually Inactive. No Help From Antiseptic Cream. Advice
There is a very small hole in the skin under the left side of the frenulum...
It looks like it traps a white color substance(smegma?) inside the hole and i can see the white substance under the skin on the other side of the frenulum. Its like a small white bump under the skin. I can push the white substance out of the hole but it keep coming back.
The substance feels dry and hard but i can easily break it up with my finger nails.
The problem is it is hard to squeeze the white substance out as the hole is too small....i am scare that it will cause an infection or something...
I went to the doctor once...he asked me if i have unprotected sex....I told him i never have sex before and so he told me its just some kind of injury and gave me some antiseptic cream to apply on it. But that never solve the problem...
I am having trouble with this......is it jus smegma or is it other serious problem?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst.
The genital skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical examination .You may need to get it excised in Toto under local anaesthesia .It will solve your problem permanently.
Thanks
