Question Posted Wednesday September 24 2008, 7:24 am
i have had it for a while and not sure if its natural. i know most stuff about sex but this is a non sex related issue. more like a worry not a health issue.
i get a white substance around the penis under the foreskin on the knob. i dont know what it is. any one know and can explain it to me?
You definately do not need to worry that this yeast infection is going to harm your body, it mostly just makes things look a little icky and sometimes smell strange (not always). It may also cause a slight burning sensation when you urinate, but, again, all of the "symptoms" don't always show up.
You really need to go to your doctor and let them swab the area to test the white growth on your penis. It is not normal to have white stuff growing on your penis--ever. Even if it's just a simple yeast infection you will need to have the doctor supply you with some medication for self treatment. Doctors see this sort of thing regularly so there isn't anything to be embarrassed of--you're just human.
If you do not see a doctor, expect it to remain and possibly worsen over time. It is not going to magically go away without the medication. You will pass it along to other partners you have (yes, you can pass it to the throat as well if you engage in oral sex). It's best to be treated now.
