Why do I have pearly penile papules (PPP) lesions, irritation and splitting on my penile glans?

Roughly 20% of men will have to deal with an issue that only occurs on the head of the penis and the shaft. This is an issue that not every male will experience, but 20% may find this issue overall. This is a problem that is not associated with traditional issues, including STD, STI, or even uncleanliness. It’s something that can occur in men and only men, and it’s not transmittable in any way. This issue is pearly penile papules. This is a skin condition that is mostly cosmetic in nature, and while most people will see this occur, some will panic is a result. You may see this on your skin and may want to figure out exactly what it is, and rightfully so. Understanding what pearly penile papules are and how to deal with them is something that requires just a few notes in regard to what is going on.

Figuring Out The Bigger Picture of PPP

Starting to work with the defining line of PPP you should know that it’s a matter of small growths that come up on the crown and the shaft of the penis. These are small bumps that can be flesh tone or white, and are connected together. Most cases only stay on the corona of the penis and do not move at all. They are simple, small, and some people could very well panic as a result of seeing them. It is once again imperative to note that this is not a sexually transmitted disease at all, it’s something that you should not panic about, etc.

What About Lesions?

PPP are not lesions. They are not sexually transmitted, and they are not going to cause a great deal of pain or anything like that. In nearly every single case of PPP, you’ll find that it’s a cosmetic issue. That’s correct, nearly 99% of all cases are cosmetic in nature. What characterizes this even more is that you will not have to deal with irritation, and splitting on the penile gland, because this is not the same as any STD or STI known in medicine at all.

What About Pain?

Some individuals may think about the issue of pain, bleeding, cracks, irritation, redness, and other issues, and those are real concerns. However, those concerns are not something that you should worry about in regard to PPP. This is not the same thing. This is something that is not in any category associated with sexually transmitted diseases, will not be painful, will not bleed, and will not be the same thing as you’d find with any other issue that can occur on the penis.

Getting rid of PPP is not a difficult matter. You can use holistic solutions to get started, and within a short span of time they will go away. You’ll also find that this is something that you can get a professional to help with as well. However, it should be noted yet again, that pearly penile papules are not the same as lesions, warts, will not bleed, will not puss, and will not cause major issues in most cases.
