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

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?

It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.
