What Causes Feeling Of Having Something Under Foreskin Of Penis?

I have something under the foreskin of my penis. It has been there since I remember, even childhood, and it looks weird and has always caused some concern. Please help, it looks similar to a suction cup on an octopus, which sounds really gross but it does.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: May be fordyce spots

Explanation: Fordyce's spots are the visible white coloured sebaceous glands usually located over there. Can be located sometimes near mouth also. These are harmless unless you meddle with it. If it is of cosmetic concern then meet dermatologist for its removal. Good luck.
