PPP stands for Pearly Penile Papules, which are pimple-like growths that occur on the penis. They aren't illnesses, and they don't spread through sexual activity. However, they are frequently misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted disease or infection, such as genital warts. This type of growth happens in about 8-40% of the male population and has no negative consequences.

There is no known cause for these pimple-like growths on the penis, and it is unclear why they appear. However, knowing how to recognise these growths is helpful in avoiding mistaking them for more serious and deadly growths, or vice versa. Pearly penile Papules have the following characteristics:

  • * These growths are always found on the head of the penis. It is not PPP if you find growth in other areas.

  • * They do not form in a cauliflower-like shape or pattern, unlike genital warts

  • * They have a smooth surface, more like a pimple, but do not pop them because they do not contain pus

  • * They grow in relatively uniform rows

  • * Their colour ranges from white to pink to yellow

  • * They have a size range of 1-2mm in width and 1-4mm in length.

Is PPP Curable?

While some cases of PPP fade away with time, some stay permanent. PPP can be successfully treated in a variety of methods, as you'll see in the chart below.

How To Get Rid Of Pearly Penile Papules

Because of how their sexual partners react before sexual intercourse, most people with pearly penile papules choose to have them removed. Many sexual partners are apprehensive about engaging in sexual activity with someone who suffers from PPP. Several procedures have been developed to assist in the removal and cure of pearly penile papules. These are the methods:

  1. Laser resurfacing: in this procedure, extra cells that cause PPP growths are destroyed utilising lasers. This treatment must be administered by a doctor who is both experienced and licenced. It is the safest approach of all because no hazards are involved.

  2. Electrosurgery: this procedure involves using an increased current to fry the extra cells that cause PPP.

  3. Cryosurgery: a chemical solution is used to freeze the pimple-like bumps on the penis in this approach for treating genital warts.

  4. Surgical excision: this refers to the use of surgical instruments to remove lumps from the penis. Do not make the mistake of attempting this on your own.

Are the Procedures for Treatment for Painful?

True, however the discomfort is manageable both during and after the therapy. During the treatment process, some doctors utilise anaesthetics on their patients. It does not take long for the penis to heal after treatment.

Conclusion

Because of the symptoms listed above, it would be a mistake to assume that any growth on your penis is PPP. Make sure to consult a doctor to see if the growth is PPP or a dangerous infection or sickness.

To gain a sense of the procedure, make sure your skin doctor walks you through everything you need to know regarding PPP treatment or removal.
