Review of products and treatments that claim to
cure pearly penile papules


	Over the last year or so I have noticed the emergence of companies marketing wart removal products to guys with pearly penile papules. My main concern with these companies is that their products appear not to work and further, they have no results or research to back up their claims. It is well documented that pearly penile papules is not responsive to topical or oral applications (See also my page on What is PPP? and home remedies). Any doctor who knows about the variant or any article about pearly penile papules will clearly state that there is no topical or oral treatment to "cure" pearly penile papules. This includes freezing and wart removal products. If it was as easy as using a wart removal product it would have not taken me 11 years to get rid of my own PPP... and you would not be searching the internet for an answer. CO2 laser treatment on the other hand has the research, the support of the medical profession and the results to back it up. I stand as living proof that it works! Check out my own story of treatment -NoMorePapules.com. My views and opinions in the following reviews reflect my own opinion, my research, comments from other guys with pearly penile papules and in some cases my own experience. By all means try the products if you wish, however be warned that these topical pearly penile papules "treatments" go against research, evidence and the advice of the medical profession. _________________________________________________________________________________ Let me start by informing you of some new research I recently came across, which illustrates why wart removal products do not work on pearly penile papules: Pearly Penile Papules is considered a "normal variant". This essentially means that it is a "normal" growth on the body. Jut like a mole or a freckle. It is often referred to as a human papilloma virus (HPV), of which there is over 100 strains with over 30 being sexually transmitted. This latest research challenges its relation to HPV and its description as a "virus". "Pearly penile papules clinically resemble the sexually transmitted papular variant of genital condylomata. Histologically, however, pearly penile papules consist of fibropapillomata that lack the characteristic morphologic features of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To study the possible association of HPV infections with pearly penile papules, we examined tissue specimens from 13 men with pearly penile papules with and without associated penile condylomata. Biopsy specimens were tested for the presence of HPV DNA by the polymerase chain reaction. None of the pearly penile papules contained HPV DNA sequences, whereas four of seven cases clinically suspected of being condylomata associated with pearly penile papules contained HPV DNA. These results confirm that pearly penile papule lesions do not contain HPV DNA; therefore, the distinction between pearly penile papules and penile condylomata is clinically significant." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2047052&dopt=Abstract Condylomata - Otherwise known as Condylomata acuminata; Penile warts; Human papilloma virus (HPV); Venereal wart; Condyloma Check out 123explore medical dictionary if you need to more information on medical terminology. What this research essentially says, is pearly penile papules do not harbor any viral characteristics. We can then come to the conclusion that products known to be effective in treating warts and other HPV infections by attacking the viral characteristics cannot be effective on pearly penile papules. This outcome is supported by reports of many guys over the years attempting to remove their PPP with wart removal products without success. Freezing, a popular wart removal method, has also proven to be ineffective (and some say painful!). A frequent comment from testers of creams is the products just dry out and irritate the area. They do not make pearly penile papules diminish or disappear. _________________________________________________________________________________ Forces-of-Nature For years the Forces of Nature product was advertised as a natural treatment for wart, mulloscum and other HPV infections only. It is only in the last 12months that they have started to advertise its apparent effectiveness as a pearly penile papules cure by creating a new page/website that specifically states pearly penile papules. The page in question clearly states "100% Organic Treatment Proven Effective for Pearly Penile Papules". The product is the exact same product advertised for wart removal. Reading further into the site this product works due to the special formulation - "The active constituents of Warts No More are highly specialized and are proven to defeat the wart and HPV virus. Warts No More also contains a very high level of thujone, which has been proven to kill the wart virus." The products effectiveness on pearly penile papules is not supported by any research, testimonials, pictures or even a paragraph to say how it works. The company obviously pins its hope on outdated information that pearly penile papules is a virus or viral infection. As the research above shows, pearly penile papules does not appear to harbor any virus or a viral tissues. This raises the question - if there is no virus or viral infection present is pearly penile papules for the product to attack, how can this product work on pearly penile papules? For warts and other HPV viruses - sure - but for pearly penile papules? I think not... Recently, a member of NoMorePapules.com contacted Forces-of-Nature by phone. The first time contact was made a consultant informed him the product was not effective for pearly penile papules. The member obviously confused revisited the forces-of-nature site. On second contact the consultant informed that WartsNoMore was "not really guaranteed" for pearly penile papules and they had no real testimonials from customers as their product is sold over the internet and people are usually "private" about these sort of things. How does a statement like "Proven Effective" get reduced to "not really guaranteed". Simple. Due to a product that is not effective in treating pearly penile papules. __________________________________________________________________________________ Cryosurgery or Freezing Also check out : http://dermnetnz.org/procedures/cryotherapy.html Cryosurgery or freezing is often a first treatment option offered by doctors who are not familiar with or educated about pearly penile papules. Most likely due to the papules similar appearance to warts. Unfortunately, according to reports, cryosurgery or freezing is not effective in removing pearly penile papules. Cryosurgery is better known as an effective treatment for warts and in some cases other skin lesions. Treatment for a wart involves the application of liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 196 degrees centigrade below zero. This causes the skin to blister below the wart. The blister will then form a crust and fall off within approximately a two week period.Ordinarily, freezing warts leaves little or no scar in the area treated. There may be some slightly pigmentation (light or dark) left for a few weeks after the freezing warts treatment and usually fade progressively. Freezing treatment can be painful. A small blister may develop for a day or so on the nearby skin after treatment. Also, there is a slight risk of scarring the nearby skin, or damaging underlying tissues such as tendons or nerves. Other problems include tenderness, secondary infection and cloudy or yellowish drainage from the blisters when they break. The effect of cyrosurgery or freezing on pearly penile papules is different. I have received a number of reports from guys that have undergone freezing pearly penile papules. Unfortunately, the reports have not been positive, with treatment lacking the desired results. Here are a few comments I have received: Freezing is very painful! It just dries the area out All it did was irritate the area It left dark marks for weeks The papules stayed put! It had no effect on my pearly penile papules at all. To sum it all up, here is a warning from a member of NoMorePapules.com that previously tried cryosurgery: "In case any of you out there want to freeze the papules off...this doesn't work. You can freeze a mole or wart (which may come back) but it doesn't work on papules. I had a Dr try this method when I first found out what they were. It hurt like hell it basically just burned a big area of my head and the papules stayed put! I decided to look into treatment again with all the advancement in lasers ect and found this site." __________________________________________________________________________________ Toothpaste I have included toothpaste on this page as for many this will be the first "potential" cure guys will encounter when searching the internet. There is no shortage of people on forums that have claimed that applying toothpaste has "cured" them of pearly penile papules. Sometimes "cured" them within days! There are, however, just as many, if not more, people that claim toothpaste does not work. In my opinion toothpaste does nothing except alter the appearance of the papules temporarily. Toothpaste is one of those home remedies that you hope will work but just does not live up to those miracle cure claims. In the early years of my research into treatments I myself tried toothpaste numerous times. I tried different brands, different coloured pastes, gel toothpaste, herbal toothpaste, cheap toothpaste, expensive toothpaste and even a powdered toothpaste I cam across. Nothing worked! By all means give it a try, just don't expect them to just drop off. __________________________________________________________________________________ Home Cure This site sells a product which claims to cure "penis pimples/whiteheads/spots". It does not provide any further product information or details on exactly what you get. The site does not specify pearly penile papules, however the sites vague/broad description and lack of detailed information can easily mis-lead. In my opinion its market is more aimed at guys with sebaceous prominence and HPV viral infections such as warts and not as a cure for pearly penile papules. _________________________________________________________________________ Pure Healing This site does not claim their product works on pearly penile papules, however they do advertise on google under the search phrase "pearly penile papules". Again their target market is for wart and other penile lesions that harbor viral characteristics and not as a cure for pearly penile papules. _________________________________________________________________________________ If, like me, you do want them removed for cosmetic reasons, and to ease any anxieties that you may feel, there is a simple cosmetic procedure available that is supported by the medical profession. CO2 laser treatment has been documented as effective and I am living proof that it works. It is a very effective treatment with little discomfort and disruption to your life.
