Lump in the penis

The penis is an important male reproductive organ, and it plays a particularly important role for men. Of course, the penis may also have some diseases, such as lumps inside the penis, which is a symptom that many men have. This symptom is generally caused by a disease called penile pearly rash. Below, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about penile pearly rash!

1. What is penile pearly rash

The full name of penile pearl rash is pearly penile papules, which is a benign skin dysplasia. 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 manifestations of penile pearl rash are: there are small papules like pins 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 broken. If some people have excessive foreskin, do not pay much attention to hygiene, often accumulate smegma and get infected, the excessive foreskin can be removed.

2. What is the reason for the growth of male penile pearl rash?

Penile pearly rash is a kind of physiological developmental variation. It is generally more common in young men. It is more common in the coronal sulcus pearly rash, also known as pearly papules. Relevant experts point out that penile pearly rash is mostly caused by some local irritation such as prepuce being too long, etc., and the problem of treatment needs to be taken seriously. The occurrence of pearly rash may be related to physiological variation or local irritation. Pearly rash is more common after puberty. From the picture of pearly rash, it can be seen that it is white, skin-colored or light red small bumps, arranged in one or several rows along the coronal sulcus, about the size of a needle tip to a millet grain, pearl-shaped, smooth surface, and not fused with each other. Pearly papules are easily confused with other diseases such as condylomas. If male friends find papules on the edge of the glans penis, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment.

Clinically, the cause and incidence of penile pearly papules are still unclear. Some scholars believe that this disease is a kind of abnormal physiological development. Some scholars believe that it is related to the foreskin being too long. Surveys have found that the incidence of penile pearly papules in young men with foreskin being too long is significantly higher than that in men with normal foreskin. Some scholars also believe that this disease may be related to HPV (human papillomavirus), which is very harmful to the human body.

3. How to distinguish between penile pearly rash and condyloma acuminatum

Condition analysis: There is a clear difference between penile pearly rash and genital warts. Penile pearly rash is normal and has no effect on the body. It is usually caused by chronic inflammation caused by smegma stimulation. Genital warts are caused by a history of unclean sexual life and viral infection. It will have significantly enlarged warts and growths.

Guidance: Suggestions: (I) If it is pearly rash: 1. Wash the genitals frequently and maintain local hygiene; it is best to wash once a day; 2. If there is a long foreskin or phimosis, it is best to go to the hospital to have it removed. Pearly rash often occurs when the foreskin is long or phimosis. (II) Treatment of condyloma acuminatum: This is more troublesome, requiring multiple laser treatments and antiviral treatment at the same time. The cycle is very long and it is easy to relapse.
