Pearly Penile Papules (PPP): What You Should Know

Pearly Penile Papules (PPP)

     Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) are small, clear, dome-shaped bumps arranged around the corona (rim) of the glans penis. They are neither painful nor itchy and are commonly found in men who have not been circumcised. PPP is a harmless, naturally occurring condition. It is not considered a disease and is not contagious.

Appearance Problems

     However, patients often experience anxiety because the appearance of PPP can sometimes resemble genital warts or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

PPP Treatment

     Since PPP poses no health risk, treatment is optional. For those who wish to remove them for cosmetic reasons, several treatment options are available, including laser therapy, electrosurgery, and cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen).
