Pearly penile papules are not a disease, they are an anatomical variant.
Small, usually whitish or skin coloured papules are found at the border of
the glans penis, just before the coronary sulcus. They are very regularly
spaced and regular in size. They are often a great worry to young men
who think they have penile warts or another sexually transmitted
infection and may have caused them to seek all sorts of treatments.
