Pearly penile papules (PPP), medically known as hirsutoid papillomas, are small, benign growths that can appear around the rim of the glans of the penis. These are not harmful or contagious but often cause significant emotional and psychological distress due to their appearance. Recognising the symptoms can alleviate concerns and help in understanding that these are natural and non-sexually transmitted.

What are Pearly Penile Papules?

Small, pearl-like bumps, typically white or flesh-coloured. They can form a single or double row around the rim of the glans.
They are dome-shaped and smooth to the touch, often resembling tiny pearls.
The number of papules can vary widely from a few to many, often evenly distributed but sometimes more clustered.
Penile papules do not cause physical pain or discomfort. They are strictly a cosmetic concern, and their presence is entirely benign.
One of the most common concerns is the mistaken belief that these papules are signs of a sexually transmitted infection (STI). This misconception can lead to unnecessary anxiety and stress.
It’s crucial to understand that these papules are a natural anatomical variation. They are not caused by any external factors, sexual activity, or personal hygiene habits.

At Penile Papules Clinic London, we understand the discomfort and anxiety that pearly penile papules (PPP) can cause. Our dedicated team is committed to providing a safe, effective, and discreet treatment option to help you regain confidence. One of the advanced treatments we offer is Electrodesiccation with Curettage, a minimally invasive procedure renowned for its effectiveness and precision.

What is Electrodesiccation with Curettage?

Electrodesiccation with Curettage is a cutting-edge dermatological procedure for treating Pearly Penile Papules. This technique involves two key steps:

Electrodesiccation: We use a specialised device that emits a precise electrical current to carefully dry out the papules. This step is crucial as it prepares the papules for removal, ensuring the process is as efficient as possible.
Curettage: Following electrodesiccation, a curette (a small, spoon-shaped surgical instrument) is used to gently scrape away the treated tissue. This instrument allows for meticulous papules removal while preserving the integrity of the surrounding skin.

Benefits of Our Approach

Our treatment offers a range from significant reduction to complete removal of papules, aiming for a smooth, spot-free appearance.
The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning it requires no incisions and is performed with minimal impact to the surrounding skin tissues.
Our use of advanced technology ensures that only the affected areas are treated, which enhances the healing process and results in a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Choosing Penile Papules Clinic London for the treatment of pearly penile papules means you’ll receive a professional, discreet, and compassionate service tailored to your comfort and safety.

As soon as you enter our clinic, you will be directed to a private treatment room designed for your comfort and privacy. This is where your journey to a papule-free life begins.

We will thoroughly clean and sterilise the area to be treated. This step is essential for preventing any risk of infection and preparing your skin for the safest possible treatment.
A local anaesthetic is administered around the area of the papules to ensure that you feel no pain during the procedure, allowing for a comfortable and stress-free experience.

The Treatment Process

We use a fine probe connected to an advanced electrodesiccation device to apply a controlled electrical current to each papule. This process dries out the papules precisely, preparing them for removal while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
After desiccation, our highly skilled doctor uses a curette to gently and carefully remove the papules. This step is performed with exceptional precision, focusing on effective removal and the preservation of surrounding skin integrity.
A soothing ointment is applied to the treated area to promote healing and provide comfort. This is followed by covering the area with a sterile bandage to protect it during the critical initial hours post-procedure.

Aftercare

A follow-up appointment is scheduled at no additional charge. This appointment allows us to monitor your healing process and ensures that you are completely satisfied with the results. It also provides an opportunity to address any concerns or questions you may have following the treatment. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs, including advice on maintaining hygiene, managing activities, and recognising signs of complications. We generally recommend avoiding strenuous and sexual activities for 1 to 2 weeks to allow the area to heal fully.

Treatment Overview

Your Treatment

Electrodesiccation and Curettage is a streamlined, minimally invasive technique that utilises targeted electrical currents to effectively desiccate penile papules. Once the papules are dried, they are precisely removed using a curette.

Duration of Treatment

The duration of the treatment typically ranges from 30 to 40 minutes, varying according to the number of papules present.

Recovery Period

Patients generally experience no downtime, allowing for an immediate return to most routine activities. It is advisable to refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activities for the initial few days post-treatment.

Comfort During Treatment

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the treatment. Some patients might experience mild soreness or irritation temporarily after the procedure.

Final Results

Patients often notice a significant reduction in papules immediately. The final outcome of the treatment becomes fully visible once the healing process concludes, which typically takes a few weeks.

Guidelines for Sexual Activity

To ensure optimal healing and to avoid irritation, patients are advised to abstain from sexual activities for about 1 week post-treatment.

Resuming Activities

While light activities can be resumed right away, patients are recommended to avoid intense physical exercise for 2-3 days to aid the healing process.

Patient Demographics

This procedure is effective and safe for men of all ages and skin types, showcasing its broad applicability and consistent results across a diverse range of patient profiles.

Do Home Remedies Work?

When it comes to treating pearly penile papules (PPP), caution is advised against commonly suggested home remedies found online. These methods can expose users to serious risks such as burns, scarring, discolouration, infections, and poor aesthetic outcomes.

Tea tree oil is often recommended for its antibacterial properties but lacks verified scientific support for PPP removal, and can lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions. Castor oil, another frequently recommended home remedy, has shown no effectiveness against PPP and may cause skin sensitivity or further complications.

Over-the-counter creams marketed for PPP treatment are generally insufficient in strength or specificity, potentially resulting in skin damage without any improvement. Similarly, the application of toothpaste as a remedy is extremely risky. It not only fails to treat PPP but can also cause intense irritation and potential infections due to its abrasive and chemical components. Lastly, apple cider vinegar, despite its popularity for various health benefits, is unsuitable for sensitive genital areas, as its acidity can cause burning sensations and considerable discomfort.

General Questions

What are pearly penile papules (PPP)?

Pearly penile papules, or PPP, are small, benign growths that typically form in rows around the rim of the glans of the penis. They are completely harmless and are not a sexually transmitted infection. These papules are very common and appear as smooth, white or flesh-colored bumps. Their exact cause is unknown, but they are a normal anatomical variation and not a sign of a medical condition.

Are pearly penile papules an STD?

No, pearly penile papules are not an STD. They are a natural anatomical variation and do not result from sexual activity. Many people confuse them with symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases due to their appearance, but they are not contagious and are only a cosmetic issue.

Who typically gets pearly penile papules?

Pearly penile papules are pretty common among men, often developing in males during their teenage years and becoming noticeable by their twenties or thirties. They can occur in men of any ethnicity. It’s important to note that these papules are a normal anatomical variation, affecting approximately 10% to 20% of the male population in the UK. They are benign and not associated with any health risks.

Can pearly penile papules go away on their own?

Pearly penile papules generally do not go away on their own. They are a permanent feature unless treated by a medical professional. While they may become less noticeable with age, they typically persist throughout a man’s life without intervention.

Is there any way to prevent pearly penile papules from forming?

Currently, there is no known method to prevent the formation of pearly penile papules. They are a natural anatomical variation that is not influenced by personal hygiene, sexual activity, or lifestyle choices. It’s important to understand that these papules are benign and not related to any health issues.

How do pearly penile papules differ from other penile bumps or lesions?

Pearly penile papules are small, smooth, dome-shaped growths that typically form in one or several rows around the rim of the glans. Unlike genital warts, which can be larger, more irregular in shape, and caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), PPP are not caused by an infection and are completely harmless. Similarly, they differ from molluscum contagiosum, which is another type of skin lesion caused by a virus and typically has a central dimple. Recognising these differences is crucial for proper identification and management.

What should I consider before deciding to have pearly penile papules removed?

Before deciding on treatment, it’s important to consider a few factors: firstly, the nature of PPP as purely cosmetic – they are not harmful and do not require removal for health reasons. However, if you feel discomfort or self-consciousness about their appearance, removal could help improve your self-esteem and sexual confidence. It’s also vital to consider the expertise of the clinic and the safety of the procedure offered. At Penile Papules Clinic London, we ensure that all treatments are conducted under the highest standards of care, with minimal risks involved.
