There are small white spots on the coronal groove of the head

If there are small white spots on the coronal sulcus of the penis, it is likely a manifestation of penile pearly papules. Many patients with penile pearly papules feel anxious because they do not know much about penile pearly papules and do not know whether they will recover. In fact, penile pearly papules are a benign lesion, so there is no need to be too anxious. Let us learn about what penile pearly papules are.

So, what are pearly penile papules?

Pearly penile papules are common in young men who have reached maturity. The clinical manifestation is one or several rows of papules the size of rice grains or needle caps on the glans penis. The color is like pearls, so it is called pearly papules. A few people also have 1 to 6 symmetrical similar papules on both sides of the frenulum of the foreskin. Pearly penile papules do not bleed when touched (condyloma acuminatum bleeds easily when touched), have no spontaneous symptoms, and can exist for life. In the past, it was mistakenly believed that this was a pathological phenomenon, so it was called pearly penile papules disease. Now it is found that pearly penile papules are a physiological variation, not a disease, and there is no need to treat it at all. Literature reports that about 20% to 40% of men have pearly penile papules.

As people's living standards improve, they know more and more about STDs, but they often only know a little bit. In this case, many people, especially those who have a history of unclean sexual intercourse, often mistake penile pearly papules for condyloma acuminatum, which causes great psychological fear. The quack doctors and STD contractors in the society take advantage of the patients' hypochondriasis and treat penile pearly papules as condyloma acuminatum with clever words and tricks, and then extort them a lot of money. Therefore, don't panic when you find similar papules on your penis. You should find a regular hospital's dermatology and venereal disease department for a clear diagnosis. Don't follow the advertisements to avoid falling into the trap set by quack doctors and STD contractors.

Pearly rash is a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may remain unchanged for decades. Because pearly rash is non-contagious and harms health, it does 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, treat prepuce as soon as possible; if it is caused by local secretion irritation, the penis and perineum should be washed frequently, and underwear should be changed and washed frequently. If the patient with pearly rash requires treatment, laser therapy, cryotherapy or external application of corrosive drugs can be used for removal.
