Hi I have been having this white thing. I've seen doctor and he said it was fungal infection and gave me cream and medicine to take. But after few months it is still there and im getting worried. The area is not itchy nor do I have any pain during urination. I am circumcised. I wanted to post a pic but I dont know how though.

    If it didn't clear up within a couple of weeks, you should have gone back to the doctor.

    This should help you add an image:

      Thanks.

      Here's the image of it. The doctor said if it does not clear up come to him and he will refer to skin specialist. But I am worried now.

      I don't know what that is (maybe some unusual kind of balanitis?), but I think you should go back to your doctor.  Maybe a different kind of cream will fix it.

      Thanks. I will do that. But do you think this looks like any kind of Genetelia Warts?

      I went to see the skin specialist. He think it might be warts.. but he took a swab sample and asked to see him back in 2 weeks. Meanwhile he gave this steroid cream to apply.. I'll update once the swab result come out.

      Thanks ya for the reply.

      Thanks for the update.  I'm surprised he thought it might be warts though.  Hope the steroid cream gets things back to normal.

      Hi. I tried the steroid cream and it makes it better. The skin specialist says that the swab test shows no indication of any bacteria etc. So he thinks it might just be a skin inflamation. However, I am still not very satisfied with his answer, do you think I should meet another doctor, or shall I go and get tested for other for STDs.

      Thanks

      I'd stay with the same doctor if I were you, but if you do see another doctor, please let us know what they say.  It doesn't look like an STI, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get tested.  There isn't an FDA-approved test for HPV though, and warts are normally different.
