Pearly Penile Papules (PPP), known medically as hirsuties papillaris genitalis, is a common condition that affects millions of American men of all ages and, though typically harmless, can have an adverse effect on the psyche.
Exacerbating the issue is the lack of reliable information about pearly penile papules available and the proliferation of PPP myths and outright untruths that worsens the issue. As if that weren’t enough, many companies out there claim that they’ve developed a remedy for pearly penile papules.
Instead of relying on misinformation and unfounded claims, why not rely on the leading PPP expert in America? Dr. William Groff of Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego is the country’s foremost expert on PPP and PPP treatment. After thousands of treatment successes of PPP on men of various ages, races, and skin types, Dr. Groff’s knowledge is unsurpassed.

What PPP Is and Isn’t
*Disclaimer: Results vary from patient to patient. Results are not guaranteed.
If you’re a man, having a healthy penis is a crucial aspect of life. Yes, of course, it has important physical functions – it’s a vessel for the elimination of liquid waste (urine) from your body as well as the means for sexual reproduction. However, neither of those explains just how important its health can be. In essence, it defines who you are as a man, and any issue with it can affect your self-esteem and/or cause extreme anxiety, which can lead to overreaction as you try to remedy the issue.
If you’re new to pearly penile papules, they are growths of small bumps on the ridge of the penis head comprised of several rows of pearly, smooth bumps around the head of the penis. The PPP bumps might be yellow, white, pink, or even translucent.
Pearly penile papules is not a disease. It is also not an STD (sexually transmitted disease) or even genital warts, and the bumps don’t grow because of hygiene (or a lack thereof). It is not a serious, or even, mild physical problem. The function of your penis is not disrupted; urination, masturbation, and sexual intercourse are not restricted due to PPP.

However, these small papules can have a serious effect on your self-esteem. Due to all the myths and misinformation being bandied about, your sexual partner might mistakenly think you have a contagious STD and think otherwise about having sex with you, which could very likely cause you to develop a fear of rejection. You might even feel PPP is a sign that you’re losing your virility, as many men report fearing. As a result, you may develop other sex-related issues, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) before or during sexual congress.
This is the real impact of PPP misinformation – unnecessary anxiety and emotional trauma. Defend yourself against this by educating yourself.
As for some of those aforementioned pearly penile papules myths, some of the most common include the following:
- Toothpaste is a great DIY home remedy
- PPP indicates the early stages of an STD
- The condition eventually leads to ED
- The condition is hereditary
None of the above myths is true.
What is true is that PPP removal or treatment is a personal choice because it’s less a medical condition and more of a cosmetic one. In fact, some men we treat report that they lost sensation in their erect penis during intercourse due to the rings of papules, which is why they sought treatment.
PPP doesn’t discriminate – men of any race, skin color, or geography can be affected, although it does seem to affect uncircumcised men more than it does circumcised men.
The One Treatment that Works Safely Every Time
One of the most irritating things about PPP, according to patients we talk to daily, is that it’s so hard to get rid of them. Even with all the advances in medicine and modern technology, finding sufficient PPP treatment or even basic advice can be a challenge.
It’s very possible that you’re here on this page because you’ve tried PPP “treatments” that have had zero impact on your condition, such as alpha hydroxyl acid topical cream, castor oil, or antibiotics.
