Pearly Penile Papules
Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) refer to small, dome-shaped, flesh-colored bumps that commonly appear in rows around the corona of the glans penis. These papules are benign, non-contagious, and not related to sexual activity or hygiene. While completely harmless, some men may feel self-conscious about their appearance and mistake them for sexually transmitted infections.
Treatment is not medically necessary, but for those seeking cosmetic improvement, safe removal options such as Electrocautery ablation are available under professional care.
At Menness Clinic, we provide accurate information and expert consultation to help men understand their condition and make informed decisions about their sexual health and confidence.
🩺 What Are Pearly Penile Papules (PPP)?
Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) are small, dome-shaped, skin-colored or whitish bumps that typically appear in rows around the rim of the glans penis. These papules are a normal and harmless anatomical variation — they are not infectious, contagious, or related to hygiene or sexual activity.
However, some men may feel concerned about their appearance or experience self-consciousness. Treatment or removal of PPP is therefore usually performed for cosmetic reasons, to improve the aesthetic appearance of the penis and reduce anxiety or embarrassment.
Treatment of Pearly Penile Papules with Electrocautery
At Menness Clinic, we specialize in the treatment of Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) using the Electrocautery technique.
Electrocautery is a precise and effective procedure that utilizes low-voltage electric current to heat the tip of a specialized device. The heated tip is then carefully applied to each papule to cauterize and remove it. This method minimizes the risk of bleeding, promotes faster wound healing, and ensures excellent cosmetic results with minimal discomfort.
