Pearly Penile Papules Removal

[brownqk]

Is there a safe, reliable way to remove these scourges from my penis? Is CO2 laser treatment effective? PS. Please don't respond with the typical response of "Accept them; they're part of you." These papules are unsightly and I want them gone for cosmetic reasons, for my peace of mind.

Thanks for the response. But I am curious about how commonly these papules appear in men. Do they occur frequently enough so that women know about them?

Hello,

Pearly penile papules are small dome-shaped to filiform skin-colored papules that typically are located on the sulcus or corona of the glans penis.

Ablation using carbon dioxide laser, electrodesiccation with curettage, and excisional surgery reportedly have successfully eliminated lesions.In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
