"Hirsuties papillaris genitalis, also known as pearly penile papules (PPP) are not contagious. PPP are small skin-colored bumps that form on the penis. They are physically harmless.PPP develop in approximately 25% of men, mainly in their 20's and 30's. They are more common in uncircumcised men. They are often mistaken for genital warts, so it is important to get diagnosed by an expert. While
. harmless, PPP can be embarrassing and stressful because they may look unsightly and may be mistaken for a sexually transmitted disease. While this condition is considered ""normal"" and dose not need treatment, some men seek treatment because of psychological distress caused by PPP.PPP can be removed safely and painlessly using a CO2 laser by a trained dermatologist. Most patients can go back to work the next day and experience very little discomfort while healing. Most men heal and can resume sexual activity in 1-2 weeks."
