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.
