Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless, but for aesthetic concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; some home remedies like tea tree oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation, but there's limited scientific evidence for their effectiveness; medical treatments like carbon dioxide laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radiosurgery may be recommended by a dermatologist, but over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are not typically advised for PPP removal.

I've been taking a tablet that my skin doctor recommended to boost my immunity and help prevent warts. But now, just a couple of days later, I've started getting mouth ulcers. Could the pills be causing this, or is it because of the hot weather? My stomach seems perfectly fine, no issues there.

Tab. Vitamin B complex once a day
