Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there are no abnormal conditions, it is more likely to consider the possibility of pearly papules, but it needs to be differentiated from balanitis. Pearly papules are a physiological developmental variation of the human body and are more common in young men with prolonged prepuce and masturbation habits. They are usually some pearly, red, yellow, or white translucent papules, arranged in one to several rows, sometimes encircling the corona, with papules often arranged in a relatively orderly manner, not fusing with each other, without tenderness or ulceration, and patients often have no symptoms. This condition is a self-limiting disease, and in some cases, it can subside after a certain period, while in others, it can persist for decades without changes. Moreover, this disease is non-communicable and does not affect health, so it does not require treatment. It is recommended that you relax, get adequate rest, maintain local cleanliness and dryness, and actively seek medical attention for circumcision if you have a prolonged prepuce to reduce the chance of infection. If you have other discomforting symptoms, you should also actively seek medical attention. Wishing you good health.
