Treatment for Pearly Penile Papules

Pearly penile papules can be removed with CO2 lasers, which is by far the best method and is regarded as a cosmetic procedure that is not covered by insurance. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is performed by several private clinics.

 

A typical user case

Hi! Have scratched sometimes but it is not big and it often stings when I have peed but not always. I have used  Canesten 1% for three weeks. It has got better, but the dots or skin tages are left, what should I do? ?

Thank you for using this service. From the submitted information and photos this is most likely PEARLY PENILE PAPULES. These skin tags are very common, completely harmless and not contagious. It is believed that they are a normal anatomic variant and no treatment is needed. They should not be confused with genital warts.
