oral sex and pearly penile papules

oral sex and pearly penile papules

Im 13 and im not a virgin. I have small white bumps on the rim of my penis. But i have had them before i even had sex.
I went to the doctor and she didn't exactly say what it was, she just said it was normal. But i have seen pictures of pearly penile papules and looks like it, and what i was wondering was can if i can oral without passing anything to my partner?

Hi,

This may be a case of pearly penile papules. You described the small white bumps to be located at the rim of your penis. In this case, pearly penile papules are likely.

"Pearly penile papule (PPP) present on the coronal sulcus of the glans (glands) penis with
monomorphic 1-2 mm flesh colored smooth papules. They may present during late adolescent and may be clinically confused with genital warts."

The coronal sulcus in the paragraph above refers to the rim of the glans (glands) or the penile head. The term monomorphic means the bumps are usually of uniform shapes. At this point, I suggest that you refrain from any sexual activity. It is necessary to understand that unprotected sex may actually lead to health consequences such as infections.

Pearly penile papules may likely persist. Do note for any redness or discharge. If these occur then a prompt consult is necessary.
