What Causes The Growth Of White Film On The Glans Penis?

I have a white film growing on my glans penis, it is painless, itch-less, and can be easily take off by just gently robing it. I have tried washing it thoroughly, but it keeps returning; and after the white firm been washed out, my glans looks extremely sleek when it is erected. Also after i masturbated, the white film seems growing faster.

I have no other any obvious symptoms, like painful urination, aching testicles, etc. and there is no other abnormal symptoms on my genitals either.
I don't have circumcision and my foreskin is normal length.

Hello,

It could be a smegma. Poor personal hygiene is the main cause for its development. As of now clean the foreskin with soap and water and apply topical antibiotics like neosporine. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
