Pearly penile papules are also normal. They are very small bumps, the same colour as your skin, but with a pearly appearance. They usually appear around the glans (head) of the penis in a row. Again, they are not sexually transmitted, they are not linked to hygiene in any way and they don't need any treatment. But if you really want them removed for cosmetic reasons, this is sometimes possible. • What do pearly papules look like?

Molluscum contagiosum looks like small, pearly, firm, raised papules (spots) on the skin with a characteristic small dimple in the middle. The spots are not painful, but can be itchy. The spots may develop in small clusters and can be spread across different parts of the body. They're most often found in the armpit, behind the knees or on the groin but can affect the groin and penis - in such cases they are considered an STI. Tabassum N, Hamdani M.

Often, the hairs extend some distance up the underside of the penis. Human hairs grow out of a tiny pit, called a follicle and the follicles on the penis may be quite prominent which is why they can be seen. • What do hair follicles look like?
