Hello,

You have a history of having Pearly penile papules, which is now cured. It is often seen in uncircumcised men due to the accumulation of smegma. Take care of your hygiene.

PPP's are benign & harmless. Not contagious. If you have a tendency of getting it every now & then, get circumcised. However, it will not re-occur if hygiene & cleanliness is properly taken care of.

Do not go for multiple sexual partners & always have safe sex(to avoid genital warts & STI).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
