Although it's not certain what causes pearly penile papules (PPP) to develop on the penile glans, shaft or groin area, it causes many men to take measures to remove them. Although leaving them alone is not physiologically detrimental, pearly penile papules removal shouldn't be taken lightly. There are mechanical and topical methods for pearly penile papules removal. They include desiccation (drying up) and scraping, surgery, laser treatment, freezing, and topical applications like tea tree oil. Let's examine some of these clinical and home treatments.

- Known as electrodessication with curettage, this treatment involves submitting the anaesthetized area to an electrical charge that dries up the papules that are composed largely of water and then scraped away. This form of pearly penile papules removal can leave scarring after the area has healed.

- Surgery might be an option depending on the severity of the condition. By being the most invasive of the procedures, the recovery period could take longer. Once again scarring can be an issue as well as a desensitization of the area.

- Laser treatment has its proponents as well as its opponents. If a consideration, the most positive feedback has been for the CO2 laser treatment versus other laser methods. Although this type of pearly penile papules removal is performed under a local anesthetic, there could be some post-procedural pain and scarring.

- Freezing or cryogenics is performed by a doctor in the same way as removing warts. Although not invasive, it may or may not be successful in removing papules indefinitely. There's also the chance or removing tissue surrounding the papules and potential scarring.

- At home topical applications include a myriad of treatments. Some of these over the counter products include tea tree oil, various vitamins, even toothpaste. There is no clinical evidence that any of these home remedies work. Despite all this, by choosing to go this route a bit of common sense should tell you what perhaps could be used and what definitely should not be used. Any attempts to perform lancing or any type of self- surgery should never happen. Otherwise, a benign condition like PPP may turn into a very serious life-altering state. The most important thing to remember is that before performing any type of pearly penile papules removal, make sure a visit to your doctor for a proper diagnosis comes first. If it's confirmed that the condition is PPP, removal is entirely optional as it is purely cosmetic. For more information, please go to pearly penile papules treatment.
