How Do You Get Pearly Penile Papules?
Pearly penile papules are small growths that occur on the male genetalia. They are benign and unrelated to sexual activity or sexually transmitted diseases. They appear on the corona (the base of the penile head) and the sulcus (just below the penile head). Although rare, these growths can appear on the shaft. They are skin-colored, dome-shaped, and usually occur in uniform shapes. They can occur in your 20s, 30s, and even 40s and 50s.
The question on most minds is, how do you get pearly penile papules? Although the genetic purpose has not been identified, most doctors have narrowed it down to a genetic variant. They are completely natural and harmless skin growths. They most likely represent phylogenetic residua from animal ancestry. They can appear in men of different races and backgrounds but are most prevalent in uncircumcised males of African descent. There has been no link between these growths and disease or lifestyle choices.
Again, these growths are harmless but may cause psychological distress. Because of concerns, many men look to doctors for answers. Even after their concerns regarding disease or cancer have been answered, they may still seek to get rid of them. There are several ways to address these cosmetic concerns, most treatments performed with a carbon dioxide laser or liquid nitrogen. If you have concerns, talk to you doctor about your options.
