A member asked:
There is a white patch on the top of the shaft under the glans. also seems to be indentations (almost akin to cracks) in the same area. what is this?

See your PCP FOR DX: It seems we have lack of additional information like itching , burning or drainage from the lesion and sexual history. It look like fungal balanitis or yeast infection which need treatment with topical antifungal medicine.
