    There are small white spots on the glans of a little boy. It is mostly thought to be caused by accumulation of dirt, but it may also be caused by pearly penile papules, eczema, etc. You can go to the hospital for treatment.

    1. Dirt accumulation

    Not paying attention to the skin cleaning of the glans when taking a bath may cause dirt to accumulate on the skin surface, causing symptoms of small white spots. You can wash it with warm water to keep the glans skin clean.

    2. Pearly penile papules

    Excessive foreskin is prone to secondary bacterial infection, resulting in inflammatory reactions and white papules. It can be treated with laser therapy, circumcision surgery, etc.

    3. Eczema

    Contact with allergens such as plant pollen and animal fur may induce eczema, causing symptoms such as rash and itching. You can apply zinc oxide ointment, calamine lotion and other medications as directed by your doctor. You can also take loratadine tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets and other medications under the guidance of your doctor.

    In addition to the above relatively common causes, it may also be caused by balanitis, tinea corporis, genital herpes, etc. You should seek medical treatment in time.
