What are the symptoms of penile pearly papules?

The incidence of penile pearly papules is not high, mainly concentrated in men after 20 years old and before 30 years old. Of course, it is mainly married men, but this does not mean that unmarried men will never suffer from this disease. Many people do not pay much attention to their physical conditions or the symptoms of their bodies. Let's take a look at the symptoms of penile pearly papules.

The damage mainly occurs at the junction of the edge of the glans and the coronal sulcus and/or the frenulum. The damage is a papule of 1-3mm in size, and the damage is larger on both sides of the frenulum. The top of the papule 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 and may partially or completely surround the glans. The color of the damage is mostly pearly white, a few are light red and skin-colored, and some may appear mildly red and swollen. There is no tenderness, no rupture, and the patient has no conscious symptoms.

The key points in differentiating and diagnosing penile pearly papules and condylar warts are that in the former, the lesions are limited to the edge of the glans, the number of lesions is larger, they are pearly milky white papules with a smooth surface, the lesions do not increase in size as the disease progresses, and the acetic acid test is negative; while in the latter, the lesions are not limited to the edge of the glans, they are mostly single and scattered, the lesions are larger, the surface is not smooth, and they are mostly cauliflower-shaped, they gradually increase in size as the disease progresses, the acetic acid test is positive, and histopathological examination shows concave cells.

The above are a series of symptoms of penile pearly papules. When we don't have time to go to the hospital, we can make a judgment on our condition based on the above methods to judge whether we have penile pearly papules. When we can't make a judgment in time, we need to go to the hospital for examination.
