I've noticed a tiny white seed-like thing just under the skin on the shaft of my penis, right below the head, for about 6 months now. It's not painful, hasn't changed or grown, and I can even move it around a bit under the skin. It's a bit smaller than a sunflower seed. Lots of people seem to have asked about this but I haven't found any clear answers. What could this be and is it something that can or should be removed?

I'm dealing with moderate acne and hyperpigmentation, and my skin type is combination and acne-prone. I'm wondering if an azelaic acid suspension would be more effective for me as a gel or cream. I've tried tretinoin before, but it always causes breakouts. Right now, I'm using a 10% niacinamide serum from Minimalist, followed by aloe vera gel and tea tree oil as a moisturizer. Can you recommend something that might work better for me, other than tretinoin and isotretinoin?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
