Pearly Penile Papules are small, white colored skin tags or domes that form around the penis gland. On appearance, they can sometimes be mistaken for a STD, such as genital herpes.
The herpes simplex virus is a virus causing contagious sores, most often around the mouth or on the genitals. While the blisters that occur during genital herpes outbreaks may resemble ppp, one simply needs to wait a few weeks to confirm if their bumps are indeed the result of herpes. That’s because genital herpes blisters tend to eventually break open and become raw sores that are often painful. These sores can take weeks to fully heal. PPP on the other hand never break open nor do they hurt.
