Are these spots on penis head dangerous?
From last 6-7 months I'm having these white/pink spots on my penis head. When I clean my penis daily with water they go away but if I stop maintaining hygiene they come back. Also sometime there's smegma over these which goes away after washing with water. Also when I apply dermikem ointment these go away within 2 days .But come back if I don't maintain hygiene.
They dont itch at all nor do they burn while peeing.
I'm uncircumcised men. Don't have any other symptoms or problem. Non diabetic. Never had unprotected sex in my life. PLEASE tell me what are these spots??? And how to get rid of them. ARE THESE DANGEROUS?

Self-treatment can be beneficial for minor ailments and general health maintenance, but it also comes with potential dangers. Here are some risks associated with self-treatment:
1. **Misdiagnosis:** Self-diagnosis can be inaccurate, leading to the wrong treatment and possibly worsening your condition.
2. **Delay in Professional Care:** Relying solely on self-treatment may cause delays in seeking professional medical advice for serious or progressive conditions.
3. **Allergic Reactions:** Using over-the-counter medications or home remedies without proper knowledge can lead to allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
4. **Masking Symptoms:** Some self-treatments may temporarily alleviate symptoms without addressing the underlying cause, which can lead to a delayed diagnosis.
5. **Drug Interactions:** Over-the-counter medications can interact with prescription drugs, potentially causing health risks.
6. **Inadequate Treatment:** Certain conditions require professional intervention, and attempting to treat them on your own can lead to inadequate or ineffective solutions.
7. **Psychological Impact:** Self-treatment can cause unnecessary stress, anxiety, or worry, especially when dealing with complex or chronic health issues.
It's important to strike a balance between self-care and seeking professional medical advice when needed. When in doubt, consult a healthcare provider to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

These can be fungal infection.
The very fact you are using dermikem which is a very very potent steroid, is further aggravating the disease
Next Steps
Immediately stop the cream
