How to treat white acne in the groove of the glans penis

Pearly penile papules (abbreviated as pearly rash) is a benign disease. In some people, it may disappear after a certain period of time, while in others, it may persist for decades without change. Since pearly rash is not contagious and does not affect health, it does not require treatment. However, in order to prevent the disease from getting worse, the emphasis is on prevention and care. If it is caused by foreskin that is too long, treat it as soon as possible. If patients with pearly rash require treatment, the following treatment methods are available:

(1) Laser therapy

Advantages: Laser therapy is a high-temperature treatment with temperatures reaching over 700°C. The main function is to carbonize and form scabs on the pearly rash tissue. After the scabs fall off, the wound surface is covered with new squamous epithelium. The treatment of pearly rash generally uses a carbon dioxide laser and infrared light with a wavelength of 10.6μm. Preparation before treatment is the same as that for electric ironing. In addition to thermal effects, its advantages also include pressure, photochemical and electromagnetic field effects. Therefore, it has anti-inflammatory effects (stimulating the body to produce stronger defensive immune functions), analgesic effects (reducing tissue edema and reducing chemical and mechanical stimulation to nerve endings) and promoting tissue repair (enhancing the anabolism of epithelial cells, promoting epithelial proliferation, and accelerating wound repair). Therefore, the treatment time is short and the cure rate is high. Disadvantages: High cost, imported laser equipment is expensive, so the cost of removing pearly rash is also high and it is prone to recurrence. After surgery, dressings need to be changed regularly to avoid infection until full recovery.

(2) Cryotherapy

Advantages: Cryotherapy is an ultra-low temperature treatment. The cooling source is liquid nitrogen, and the temperature is -196℃. During treatment, choose the appropriate probe according to the condition of pearly rash. To improve the therapeutic effect, the freeze-thaw-freeze method can be used, that is, freezing for 1 minute, thawing for 3 minutes, and freezing again for 1 minute. Its advantage is simple operation. Disadvantages: The disadvantage is that liquid nitrogen sprays out gas, the area is difficult to control, and it is easy to cause blisters after freezing, which is prone to infection and scarring. Less well-known than laser therapy.

(3) Drug treatment

Advantages: It acts on the necrosis and shedding of pearly rash, the process is easy, and because it is for external use, it has no side effects and is not prone to recurrence. Disadvantages: The treatment time is relatively long, needing 5-10 days, and the place where the medicine is applied cannot be exposed to water for 24 hours, otherwise it will affect the effect.
