What can I do to make pearly penile papules go away?

Let’s start with some good news—they’re totally benign! Nothing to worry about. They look like little pearls underneath the head of your penis.

Now the bad news—there’s not a whole lot to be done. The issue is that procedures done on the penis can scar and/or cause A LOT of pain. Some dermatologists will consider laser therapy but most of the time doctor will say to let them be. They may go away with time but they definitely are nothing to be concerned about.
