Pearly penile papules also called hirsuitoid papillomas or hirsuties coronae glandis is a very common skin disorder that is also quite normal especially in men at a younger age and those who have been circumcised.
Characterized by rows of small white pearly or flesh-colored protrusions arranged neatly along the base of the corona or glans of the penis, these papules are harmless and usually disappear over a period of time. These are not at all contagious and as most fear, these are not a disease or sexually transmitted conditions. One has to be clear that these are only normal skin disorders.
Pearly penile papules removal can be attempted if necessary and men remove them only for aesthetic reasons. However, their removal is not advised because of the possibility of unexpected consequences of the removal procedures. Proper and safe techniques should be used for the removal of these papules.
Some medical treatments can be used to remove them. First, however, one must consult a dermatologist to be sure that the condition is pearly penile papules and not any other serious infection or disease.
The most effective medical removal method is the use of a CO2 laser treatment in which the papules are vaporized by the heat of the laser. This is a considerably safe method that takes less time and causes very less discomfort.
Another method is known as electro surgery in which a low-powered hyfrecator or high-frequency eradicator is used to apply an electric current of high frequency to remove the papules. This method can be completed in a few hours time. Another method is the surgical excision method which is a little invasive and is performed under general anesthesia.
There are lots of home remedies available today some of which are safe and to use. However, some of these methods involve the use of abrasions which may cause permanent damage and should be avoided.
Moreover, creams and lotions are not recommended by doctors and these are found to be mostly ineffective. Some safe natural remedies may be followed but these take a little more time to show their results.
Castor oil with its anti-bacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties can be effectively and safely used over the affected areas to ensure pearly penile papules removal. Tea tree oil also has natural properties which help in the healing of this condition. If in the use of any natural method, a skin reaction is seen, professional help has to be taken.
Sometimes, pearly penile papules are mistaken for other conditions like warts and herpes which are not benign. Another similar condition is Fordyce spots which are also benign and harmless like these. For mental satisfaction, it is best to refer to a dermatologist to be sure of the condition.
In the past, the treatment for removal of pearly penile papules has been unsuccessful and various methods such as circumcision, podophyllin, cryotherapy, and other techniques such as creams and toothpaste were also applied. In recent years, with the development in technology and science, some effective treatments such as electrodesiccation
carbon monoxide laser are recommended by doctors. However, radio frequency surgery which has been developed recently is less invasive, cost-effective, and better. It is due to the reality that treatment uses a small handpiece which allows for accuracy.
Radiofrequency surgery is effective and the most useful treatment for the pearly penile papule and is not very much painful. There is not any need of taking any leaves from your workplace. It is treated with a local anesthesia of lidocaine cream which does not require any admission to the hospital for days.
After the whole process is done the treated area will look red and shabby but will be healed within 10 to 15 days.
