Can anyone tell me if this is some fungus balanitis or something? I noticed it 2 days ago, little itchy and little sore.

    Could be balanitis, or maybe mild friction injuries, but (depending on your sexual history) it could be herpes.  I'd get it checked out.

    You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

    Hope it's nothing to worry about, but it would be cool if you let us know what the docs say either way.

    (the white patches at the top of the second pic seem to be from the camera flash btw for anyone else looking)

    Well, after I suspected from candida balanitis, so after 5 days using canesten all is now cleared and on. I hope this helps to someone else having this same problem. I attach some pictures of how it looks now.

      If it's balanitis, then any Canesten cream will probably help.

      As above, if they are like the ones shown on the link or they are on the shaft of your penis they are nothing to worry about and are completely normal. As you grow, from teenage years onwards fordyce spots and pearly penile papules appear on many male genitals. It's a shame this isn't taught to boys at school as many worry themselves silly over something that's completely normal. Just please don't bother with internet pills and potions as they invariably do not work and the spots will remain. This is advice from someone (me) who has loads of them and worried themselves silly for years about nothing!
