How to diagnose penile pearly rash

If you do not pay attention to hygiene in daily life, it is easy to get skin diseases. Let's talk about penile pearly rash. This is not a sexually transmitted disease, but once it occurs, it will cause various serious consequences such as infection. So what causes this disease, what should we pay attention to in daily life, and how to treat pearly rash? Let's find out.

The full name of penile pearl rash is pearly penile papules, which is a benign skin dysplasia state. About 24% of adult men have this disease. According to surveys, the prevalence of this disease is also high among men who have not had sexual contact.

The typical clinical manifestation of penile pearl rash is: there are small pin-shaped papules on the back and sides of the coronal sulcus, which are shaped like pearls and are white, yellow or pink. They are arranged in one or several rows along the coronal sulcus, and some are around the coronal sulcus. The texture is hard, and it is not itchy, painful or ruptured. If some people have excessive foreskin, do not pay much attention to hygiene, and often accumulate smegma and get infected, they can remove the excessive foreskin.

Penile pearly rash is not transmitted through sexual contact, is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, and does not require treatment.

Penile pearly rash needs to be distinguished from genital warts. Most patients with genital warts have a history of unclean sexual contact. The warts continue to proliferate and grow into a cauliflower-like shape with a rough and uneven surface. The distribution is also uneven, asymmetrical, and irregular. When it is difficult to distinguish, an acetic acid white test can be performed, which can generally make a diagnosis.

The above introduces the identification and causes of penile pearly rash. As we all know, if we do not pay attention to the private parts and do not clean them for a long time, bacteria will easily accumulate and cause pearly rash. In our daily life, we should pay attention to keeping ourselves clean.
