  Frequency - pearly penile papules
In the US: “the incidence of pearly penile papules reportedly ranges from 8-48%. Several reports suggest an increased incidence in uncircumcised versus circumcised men (22% vs. 12%, respectively). One study found a greater incidence in black versus white men, in those circumcised (21% vs. 7%, respectively) and uncircumcised (44% vs. 33%, respectively)” (Brown, 2001).

Internationally: “No geographic variation in prevalence has been noted” (Brown, 2001).

 
Comments:
First of all the papules are discouraging in appearance. Is there any solution to remove these annoyances. I ask this because it makes intimate encounters extremely awkward in terms of oral sex.

Dear Stephen,

Usually no treatment is required, but if cosmetic reasons are compelling, Laser surgery can be performed with good results and minimal side effects.

I will write about this in my next post.

Stay tuned!
 
I hate these things is anyone know how to get rid of them???
 
Is it possible for pearly penile papules to be around the entire head of the penis and also on the penis?

In reply to this, i have what we call sebaceous gland and they are ON the penis. Maybe you got both also (both ppp and sebaceous gland).

I hope it help!
 
Unlike women, men do not readily discuss personal medical conditions and disorders with their friends. It is for this reason that pearly penile papules are very misunderstood.

It is not surprising that you would be plagued by worry and paranoia at the appearance of a bump on the rim of your penis. Immediately you would suspect venereal disease or even worse, cancer. The likelihood is that you do not have either, but rather a simple case of pearly penile papules. Pearly penile papules
are very common among men, especially uncircumcised men. They are not as a result of bad hygiene and are not contagious in any way whatsoever. Many men actually find that they appear and disappear without any treatment at all.

However, if you are feeling uncomfortable with them, they can be effectively removed with a simple treatment of radiofrequency surgery. You should however consult your doctor and have them seen to should they emit a discharge or are physically painful.
