pearly penile papules



i have had some protrusions on the coronal margin of my penis for some about 6 months now. a first zit appeared and then a ring developed on the margin, they've been asymptomatic so far. i'm fairly confident these are pearly penile papules for they closely fit the description and symptoms that i've found on the net. anyway, i'm set on visiting an urologist, and would like to know if there are any other illnesses that could be mistaken for the penile papules.

thanks a lot, keep the great work on

Hi,

This could be - pearly penile papules or fordyce spots. You would need to consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis.

This could also be genital warts, but nothing can be said with surety without a clinical examination.

'Pearly penile papules are multiple, small (about 1-3mm) papules running around the circumference of the crown of the glans penis. They typically develop in men aged 20 to 40, and around 10 per cent of all men are affected. They may be mistaken for warts, are not infectious and require no treatment.'

'Fordyce spots are small (1-5mm) bright red or purple papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and usually affect younger men. They may occur as a solitary lesion, but frequently appear in crops of 50 to 100. They are painless and not itchy, but may cause embarrassment because of their appearance, or a fear that they might be sexually transmitted. '

Let us know if you need any further information.

Post us about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
