What are the white spots on the penis?

The penis is a male sexual organ, but this part is easily infected and damaged by bacteria and fungi, and often suffers from male diseases. White spots on the penis are a benign disease that can be solved by taking medicine, without surgery, and will gradually disappear with proper care. During the treatment process, try not to have sex, and you can often clean the affected area to keep it dry and comfortable. The following is a detailed introduction.

The white spots on the penis are just like acne. The white spots are mostly penile pearly rash. Penile pearly rash is a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may remain unchanged for decades. Because pearly rash is non-contagious and not harmful to health, it does not need to be treated. However, in order to prevent the symptom from getting worse, prevention and care are important. If it is caused by prepuce, treat prepuce as soon as possible; if it is caused by local secretion irritation, the penis and perineum should be washed frequently, and underwear should be changed and washed frequently. If the patient with pearly rash requires treatment, laser therapy, cryotherapy or external application of corrosive drugs can be used to remove it.

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 prepuce. Surveys have found that the incidence of penile pearly papules in young men with prepuce is significantly higher than that of men with normal prepuce. Some scholars believe that this disease may be related to HPV infection, but Ferenczy et al. and Zhang Kaijin et al. detected HPV in the lesion tissue and found no HPV.

The author observed that the direct cause of this disease may be excessive foreskin, poor local hygiene, long-term stimulation of coronary sulcus secretions and dirt, or local redness and swelling caused by other factors such as infection. If the patient needs treatment, laser surgery, cryotherapy, and drug therapy can be used for treatment.
