Pearly Penile Papules
Pearly penile papules are small, dome-shaped bumps that appear around the rim of the head of the penis. These papules are a normal anatomical variation and are not a sign of infection, disease, or any sexual transmission. They are completely harmless and typically do not cause pain or discomfort. Pearly penile papules are common in men and do not require treatment, although some may seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or if they are concerned about their appearance.

Fordyce Spots
Fordyce spots are small, painless, yellow or white bumps that appear on the genital area, lips, or inside the mouth. They are sebaceous glands that are visible due to their position on the surface of the skin, and they are completely harmless. Fordyce spots are a common, natural occurrence and do not require treatment unless they cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort.
If you have questions or concerns about Fordyce spots, book an appointment with Brisbane Dermatology Group today. Our team will assess your condition and provide tailored advice or treatment options if needed.
Lichen Sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic skin condition that causes white, patchy, and thinning skin, most commonly affecting the genital area in men. It can lead to itching, pain, and discomfort, especially during sexual activity. The exact cause is unclear, but it may involve immune system dysfunction. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
