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.
