White head: That sounds like a sebaceous cyst. It may grow a bit and discharge itself, otherwise it my need to be incised.

Possible cyst: This could be common benign cyst formed by a material called smegma, that your penile glands produce. Do have it seen and possibly removed if large or painful. Infection has to be ruled out too.
