What Causes White Wart Like Spot On Foreskin?
Hi, I am 30 years old male, i am having some wart or white colored structure very small on the edge of prepuce.. they dont burn or hurt but its kinda of annoying to have them there. I want to make sure its completely safe and not an STD, as its not causing any irritation or any discomfort.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A white colored structure on the external genital organ is suspicious for some sexually transmitted disease (STD).
A white colored lesion may be a wart.
A clinical assessment is required to identify the lesion.
Wart may be due to infection with Human papilloma virus (HPV).
HPV gets transmitted via sexual route and is a risk factor for various malignancy.
This is one of the many possibilities.
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
