A concept

Pearly papules are small reddish papules that appear around the glans penis in the coronal groove of the penis. They are common in young people and adults, usually between 20 and 40 years old, and occur in 10% of normal people. They are more common in young people with prepuce hyperplasia and masturbation habits. Generally, there are no conscious symptoms, and they are often found suddenly after bathing or unclean sexual intercourse, and they are easily misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum. The histopathological findings are the same as those of vulvar pseudowarts, with papillary protrusions in appearance, mild hypertrophy of the mucosal epithelium, and vacuolar appearance similar to normal mucosa in the middle and upper parts of the epithelium. The vacuoles are uniform in size and shape, with no dark staining and condensation of cell nuclei. The mucosal epithelium is wrapped in loose connective tissue, and the capillaries in the connective tissue proliferate and dilate, with a few lymphocytes infiltrating.

2. Clinical manifestations

Pearly penile papules are more common in men around 20-30 years old. The damage mainly occurs at the junction of the edge of the glans penis and the coronal sulcus and/or the frenulum. The lesions are 1-3mm in size, and the lesions are larger on both sides of the frenulum. The top of the papules is round and smooth, and some papules are hairy or thread-like. The papules are mostly not fused with each other, and are densely arranged in one or more rows. They are obvious on the dorsal side of the glans penis and may partially or completely surround the glans penis. The color of the lesions is mostly pearly white, a few are light red or skin-colored, and some may appear mildly red and swollen. There is no tenderness, no rupture, and the patient has no subjective symptoms.

Three treatments

Pearly penile papules are a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may remain unchanged for decades. Because the disease is not contagious and does not harm health, it does not need to be treated. However, in order to prevent the disease from getting worse, patients should pay attention to local hygiene and keep a dry environment. If the patient requires treatment, laser therapy, cryotherapy or external application of pearl-like drugs can be used to remove it, but remember to avoid excessive damage that causes scars and causes pain to the patient. For some patients, recurrence may occur after removing these damages.
