Pearly Penile Papules

What is Pearly Penile Papules?

Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) are small, benign, dome-shaped growths that commonly appear in rows around the corona of the penis. While these bumps are harmless and non-contagious, they can be a source of cosmetic concern for many men. The removal of PPP is typically pursued to improve the appearance of the penis, alleviating any associated anxiety or embarrassment.

Treatment with Electrocautery

At Menness Clinic, we exclusively use electrocautery to treat Pearly Penile Papules. Electrocautery is a precise and effective procedure that involves using a low-voltage electrical current to heat a probe, which is then applied to each papule. This method removes the papules by cauterizing them, effectively minimizing the risk of bleeding and promoting rapid healing.

Why Electrocautery?

  • Precision and Control

    • Electrocautery allows for the precise targeting of individual papules without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This results in a smoother outcome with minimal scarring.

  • Efficient and Fast

    • Most treatments are completed in a single session that lasts around 20-30 minutes. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience.

  • Minimal Downtime

    • Recovery time is quick, with most patients returning to daily activities within a few days. Any minor discomfort, redness, or swelling usually subsides within one week. Full healing generally takes around 7-10 days.

  • Effective Results

    • Electrocautery provides permanent results in most cases, with a very low likelihood of recurrence.
