Hello, Likley Vitiligo., its an autoimmune problem . It is harmless , but there is no cure for it.If patch associated with burning sensation it could be fungal infection . Fordyce spots are tiny white or yellowish spots, found on the head of the penis or the shaft. Fordyce spots are not sexually transmittedand they don't do any harm. There's absolutely no need for any treatment.
