Patient's question:
Is the red spot on the turtle's head a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
Penile pearls, found on the edge of the male glans, are small, uniformly arranged papules of the same skin color, without any inflammatory response or discomfort. This is a condition known as pearly papules. If an acetic acid test is performed, it will be negative, meaning that a 5% acetic acid solution applied will not turn white. This condition is common in males after puberty and is completely normal, requiring no treatment.
