Hi Everyone,

I was told i had perly penile papules, and i bought myself medicine called tea tree oil to remove them and so on, so while i was putting it on my penis, i have spoted white dots which looks similar to PPP but i think its something else. I would really like to know what it is.

    Kemyt is right about PPPs. They only appear on the rim of the glans penis (the head). The good news is that they are absolutely nothing to worry about as they pose no health risks and will not cause any pain or irritation.

    Likewise, Fordyce spots on the shaft of the penis are sebaceous glands which are in 'the wrong place' in addition to hair follicles where they exist naturally. They are harmless and of cosmetic concern only. I have no idea if they can be surgically removed, but why bother? They could even be a fun talking point with a future sexual partner of yours!

    I wish you well.

    Christopher
