A circle of small fleshy thorns inside the glans

The glans is a very important part of a man. Generally, there will be no abnormalities in this area. If there are abnormalities, it will cause panic. After all, sexually transmitted diseases have such characteristics. Many people find a circle of small meat thorns inside the glans. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon called pearly rash. There will be no pain or itching, and it is not harmful to health. We can fully understand this pearly rash of a circle of small meat thorns inside the glans.

The cause and incidence of penile pearly papules are still unclear. Some scholars believe that this disease is a kind of abnormal physiological development. Some scholars believe that it is related to prepuce. Surveys have found that the incidence of penile pearly papules in young men with prepuce is significantly higher than that in men with normal prepuce. Some scholars believe that this disease may be related to HPV infection, but Ferenczy et al. and Zhang Kaijin et al. tested HPV in the lesion tissue and found no HPV. The author observed that the direct cause of this disease may be inflammatory reactions such as local redness and swelling caused by prepuce, poor local hygiene, long-term stimulation of coronal sulcus secretions and dirt, or other factors such as infection. If the patient needs treatment, it can be treated through laser surgery, cryotherapy, and drug therapy.

Pearly papules of the penis (abbreviated as pearly papules) are a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may remain unchanged for decades. Since pearly papules are not contagious and do not harm health, they do not need to be treated. However, in order to prevent the disease from getting worse, prevention and care are important. If it is caused by prepuce that is too long, treat the prepuce as soon as possible.

If patients with pearly rash require treatment, the following treatment methods can be used:

(1) Laser therapy

Advantages: Laser therapy is a high-temperature treatment, and the temperature can reach over 700°C. It mainly carbonizes and scabs the pearly rash tissue. After the scab falls off, the wound is covered with new squamous epithelium. The treatment of pearly rash generally uses a carbon dioxide laser with a wavelength of 10.6μm infrared light. The preparation before treatment is the same as that of electric ironing. In addition to the thermal effect, its advantages also include pressure, photochemical and electromagnetic field effects. Therefore, it has anti-inflammatory (stimulating the body to produce a stronger defense immune function), analgesic (reducing tissue edema, reducing chemical and mechanical stimulation to nerve endings) and promoting tissue repair (enhancing the synthesis and metabolism of epithelial cells, promoting epithelial hyperplasia, and accelerating wound repair), so the treatment time is short and the cure rate is high.

Disadvantages: The cost is high, and the imported laser equipment is expensive, so the price of removing pearly rash is also high and it is easy to relapse. After the operation, you need to change the dressing regularly to avoid infection until you are fully recovered.

(2) Cryotherapy

Advantages: Cryotherapy is a kind of ultra-low temperature treatment. The cooling source is liquid nitrogen, and the temperature is -196℃. During treatment, choose the appropriate probe according to the condition of pearly rash. To improve the efficacy, the freeze-thaw-freeze method can be used, that is, freeze for 1 minute, warm for 3 minutes, and freeze again for 1 minute. Its advantage is that it is simple to operate.

Disadvantages: Liquid nitrogen sprays out gas, and the area is difficult to control. It is easy to cause blisters, infection, and scarring after freezing. It is not as well-known as laser therapy.

(3) Drug treatment

Advantages: It acts on the necrosis and shedding of pearly rash, the process is easy, and because it is for external use, there are no side effects and it is not easy to recur.

Disadvantages: The treatment time is relatively long, needing 5-10 days, and the place where the medicine is applied cannot be exposed to water for 24 hours, otherwise it will affect the effect.
