It can become a cause for many men's mental distress like anxiety, embarrassment, and shame. In this article, we will give all the information about PPP and how to get rid of them.
Causes
So the certain cause of PPP is still unknown and it is still a mystery why some have this disease and others don't. However, according to dermatologists it is a normal skin condition and can be the result of the following factors:
- It can be due to the excessive growth of collagen in a particular region

- Overgrowth of fibroblasts can be another reason
Symptoms
Pearly penile papules don't spread and don't let the development of other symptoms. Once you develop the PPP there are no chances they are going away. They will stick with you for the rest of your life. However, there is a bright side to this as well. Once formed they don't tend to grow or spread or change shape or color but they can fade away with time.
As the matter of fact, PPP greatly resembles other medical conditions that's why they often mistake diseases such as genital warts which are by the way are sexually transmitted and if you feel like you are experiencing other symptoms along with these symptoms you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Here is another way to identify the difference between PPP (pearly penile papules) and Genital warts. Genital warts are bumpy and have cauliflower whereas PPP is smooth bumps.

If you experience an itch or any discomfort on the growth this is your sign to see your doctor because it can be an indication of the above-mentioned diseases.
Treatments
Pearly penile papules cannot be stopped and there is no way we can prevent them if we leave them untreated. It is harmless and doesn't require any specific treatments. Since they are no health hazard or don't cause any harm to the body, doctors don't prescribe expensive treatment for the reduction and removal of the growth.
However, many people still opt for the way since it causes mental distress and the removal procedure is reliable so there is no harm in choosing the removal procedures. If you have decided on the removal procedure then you should go for these below-mentioned methods:
Cryosurgery
In this procedure, the nitrogen is frozen to the temperature that it causes the burning. The area is targeted and it readily burns the skin or the growth. This method can be a little bit painful however highly effective. It is often used to remove tumors and benign growth for instance pearly penile papules.
Laser surgery
We are all familiar with this method. It has much application but little do we know that it is a great way to get rid of PPP. In this procedure, we use infrared rays to generate the heat and burn off the targeted skin cells. It will not only remove the growth but also smoothen the skin.
PPP Kit
However, the treatments for PPP are indeed mostly expensive but they are not the only solution hence we recommend you the PPP kit.
PPP Kit is a legitimate product and it works unlike the scam of oils and creams which further enhances the problem like scarring the skin. The PPP kit works not so different from the laser treatment a dermatologist will be performing on you although it is a lot cheaper.
The PPP kit is composed of an ionizer which is similar to the laser machine. It first burns your targeted skin and later evaporates the PPP. It is a very safe procedure and harms any part. The ionizer is specially designed for the PPP treatment. As soon as you turn on the button the ionizer heats up and automatically attains the temperature for which it is supposed to work now all you have to do is to target it and let the ionizer work. The recovery is very fast.
