White spots: You really need an exam to diagnose the white spots to be able to tell you how to treat them. I doubt taking a hot shower would cause white spots to occur on your penis. Good luck.

Match pictures: These may be sebaceous glands / fordyce's, or if they're in a row around the glans, they may be pearly papules. Neither is anything to worry about.

A 18-year-old male asked:
How can i make the skin on my penis more elastic? It is dry and contracts often from when I used to wash the skin vigorously in the shower trying to get rid of the fordyce spots on my shaft. Moisturizer just irritates my skin and makes it worse.
