Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition involves small, pale red papules that appear around the glans penis, encircling the corona. It commonly occurs in young and adult individuals, with the highest prevalence in those aged 20-40. 10% of normal individuals may have this condition, and it is more common in young people with phimosis and those who practice masturbation. Generally, there are no symptoms. Penile pearly papules are a benign condition; some may resolve over time, while others may persist for decades without changes. Since this condition is non-communicable and does not affect health, it does not require treatment. However, to prevent the condition from worsening, patients should pay attention to local hygiene and maintain a dry environment, which is very important. If the patient insists on treatment, options such as laser therapy, cryotherapy, or the topical application of corrosive medications can be used to remove the papules. However, it must be remembered to avoid excessive damage that could cause scars and cause the patient pain. Wishing you good health.
