I'm a 36-year-old man with pearly penile papules on my glans, and I don't remember how long they've been there. What's the estimated cost for PPP removal, and what's the most affordable surgical option? How long does full recovery usually take, and where can I get this treated?

Pearly Penile Papules (PPPs) are generally harmless and don't require treatment, but can be removed for cosmetic reasons. The most affordable surgical options are typically cryotherapy (freezing) or excision with a scalpel, though laser treatments are also available. Costs vary, but can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the method and provider. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, and you can seek treatment from dermatologists or urologists

Is it okay to use Grocapix solution? Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Will it actually help in stopping hair loss and maybe even help regrow the lost hair? I've been prescribed Androanagen tablets along with the Grocapix solution. I'm also wondering, if I stop using these, is it gonna lead to more hair fall like it happens with minoxidil?
