Pearly Papules Concern/Question.
Can Pearly Papules occur somewhere else rather than the corona of the penis?
I am uncircumcised and when I retract the foreskin, the side of the skin that is uncovered reveals a circle of what looks like pearly papules but it's just a small circle with an approximate diameter of 1 cm. I don't see it anywhere else. Can this be pearly papules? or possibly something else?

Hi,
Pearly penile papules typically are located on the sulcus or corona of the glans penis.It may extend to the glans in rare cases. Moreover, lesions are observed more frequently in uncircumcised males. This link may be helpful: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1058826-overview
