:)Well, i searched on Wikipedia, i found out that my penis wasn't all the same as the one in the picture:
I have :eek:"white spots":eek: in most part of my foreskin, and i noticed that, with a magnificient Glass, i have some on my upper lip:mad:.
I keep reading on the same site for the word penis, and found out that i have:
"Fordyce's spots, or Fordyce granules are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis or on the labia, as well as the inner surface and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are common in men and women of all ages. They are named after an American dermatologist, John Addison Fordyce. On the head of the penis, they are called Tyson glands, not to be confused with Hirsuties papillaris genitalis.
The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body. Men sometimes consult with a dermatologist because they are worried they may have a sexually transmitted disease (especially genital warts) or some form of cancer, but this is not the case. They may equally be worried about the appearance of their penis and what their sexual partner might think of it.
Vaporising laser treatments such as CO2 laser or electro desiccation have been used with some success in diminishing the appearance of this condition if they are of cosmetic concern. However, most doctors consider this a normal physiological phenomenon and advise against treatment.
There are anecdotal reports that the spots can be reduced in size by following a low-carb dairy-free diet. Sebaceous glands are sensitive to diet-induced insulin spikes, and ensuing hormonal cascades, thus a diet that limits insulin production may allow the spots to shrink in size. There are studies showing carbohydrate-restriction can reduce acne, another disorder involving enlarged and over-active sebum glands.
Dark brown or purple spots on the scrotum, shaft, and head characterized by a rough texture can be treated with salicylic acid, benzol peroxide, green tea masks, and other acne lotions. It is believed that the drying out effect of these topical creams reduces the appearance of the spots. Though the fordyce will remain, using treatments such as these can eliminate the dark brown appearance of the spots."
I feel very good now:whoops:, so i am going to bother all you with this question:
Do my penis is normal?:confused:
