Well, the good thing to know is... they are not an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease).
You see, Pearly Penile Papules, or PPP, are small, white colored skin tags or domes that form around the ***** gland. On appearance, they can sometimes be mistaken for a sexually transmitted disease, such as genital warts or herpes.
They appear in rows around the rim of the ***** head and may also appear on either side of the frenulum.
The cause or rather the reason pearly penile papules appear is unknown. Some say they may be swollen or blocked sweat glands or pores. However, one thing is known; they are in no way related to sexual activity or bad hygiene.
A study shows that “Pearly Penile Papules usually begin to appear between the ages of 20 and 40 years old” (Dean, 2000). However, various reports from teenagers and from my own history show they have also been known to appear in boys as young as 12 - 14 years old. “Do You Have It And Have Tried Everything to Get Rid of These Things?” Finally...
