I've noticed these pearly penile papules on my penis for about two months now and I'm really concerned. Whats the best treatment for this?

They are a normal anatomical variation and not a disease or sexually transmitted infection (STI). PPP is harmless, does not require treatment, and does not cause any long-term health issues. However, if they bother you cosmetically or cause psychological distress, there are treatment options available.

View allI was cleaning my private parts, specifically the penis and scrotum, using Dettol and now the skin on my scrotum is really dry and a bit discolored. I've also noticed it's a lot less sensitive in that area. Should I be worried, and will it get better on its own in a few days?
Potential Underlying Causes_ 1. _Nutritional deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid can contribute to recurring mouth ulcers. 2. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like lichen planus, pemphigus, or Behet's disease can cause persistent mouth ulcers. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can lead to mouth ulcers. 4. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications, such as NSAIDs, beta-blockers, or chemotherapy, can cause mouth ulcers. _Additional Treatment Options_ 1. _Topical corticosteroids_: Apply topical corticosteroids, like triamcinolone or clobetasol, to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 2. _Immune-modulating medications_: Consider medications like colchicine or pentoxifylline to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. 3. _Antiviral or antibacterial medications_: If your healthcare provider suspects a viral or bacterial infection, they may prescribe antiviral or antibacterial medications. 4. _Nutritional supplements_: Ensure adequate nutrition by taking supplements like vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid, as recommended by your healthcare provider. _Further Evaluation_ 1. _Consult a specialist_: Consider consulting an oral medicine specialist, dermatologist, or immunologist for further evaluation and guidance. 2. _Biopsy or laboratory tests_: Your healthcare provider may recommend a biopsy or laboratory tests to rule out underlying conditions.
