Doctor's answer:
Based on your approximate description of the symptoms, it is likely to be genital pearls. It is recommended that you upload a photo for a definitive diagnosis. Genital pearls are usually arranged in one or more rows along the coronal sulcus of the glans, appearing as white or pink papules that can partially or fully surround the glans. They are asymptomatic, painless, and non-ulcerative, and are unrelated to sexual activity. Condyloma acuminata generally presents as warty, cauliflower-like, or papillary lesions, with irregular arrangement and the potential for continuous growth. They are associated with sexual activity and can be easily transmitted through sexual contact. Genital pearls are a benign condition. Some people may experience resolution after a certain period, while others may have no changes for decades. Since genital pearls are non-communicable and do not affect health, they do not require treatment. If treatment is needed, you can go to the hospital for laser surgery or cryotherapy.
