Understanding Pearly Penile Papules (PPP)

• PPP are small, benign growths on the penis. They are harmless and not sexually transmitted.

When Treatment is Considered

• Treatment is typically for cosmetic reasons, as PPP do not cause health issues.

Treatment Options

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser Therapy: Uses laser to remove papules.
• Pulsed Dye Laser Therapy: Targets blood vessels in papules.
• Cryotherapy: Freezes and removes papules.
• Electrosurgery: Uses electric current to remove papules.

Considerations and Risks

• Possible side effects include scarring or pigmentation changes.
• Consult a qualified dermatologist or urologist for advice.

Reassurance and Follow-up

• PPP are benign, and treatment is optional.
• Follow-up care is important if treatment is pursued.
