Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

There are a few little things around my glans. I think I have hirsuties coronae glandis. What can I do about it? Is it contagious? Please explain.

Answered by Dr. Gopinath

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hirsuties coronae glandis (pearly penile papule) are normal findings in men. Kindly confirm it with a urologist or venereologist after a proper physical evaluation. It is not contagious. If you are too concerned about it, then the treatment option is CO2 laser ablation.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
