These papules secrete an oil that helps lubricate the surrounding skin. Pearly penile papules (also known as ‘hirsuties coronae glandis’ and ‘hirsutoid papillomas’) are tiny, pearly-coloured lumps that develop on the corona or sulcus of the glans of the penis. The effects of laser treatment for the removal of pearly penile papules are almost always permanent, meaning that you will typically only ever require a single treatment. Some minor swelling will occur and there will be some bleeding immediately following the treatment. The treated skin does produce scabrous tissue following the procedure, but this is only temporary and heals within 1 to 2 weeks. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the treated area, avoiding the need for injections, while ensuring that the procedure is completely painless. The laser is concentrated exclusively on the papules, ensuring that no damage is inflicted upon the penis. Pearly penile papules (PPP) removal is achieved through the use of a CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser, an instrument that is commonly used for non-surgical skin resurfacing treatments.
