Ask QC: Pearly Penile Papules and Sebaceous Prominence

Hey there,

I am a 21 year old Australian guy who is unlucky enough to suffer from both Pearly Penile Papules and Sabaceous Prominence. Do you think you guys could run an article explaining these conditions just to let everyone know that despite them being so ugly, they are actually rather normal and nothing to be afraid of?

Cheers,

Hairy Aussie

Hi there Hairy Aussie and thanks for writing into Ask QC with your request! Even though some may think of us as “Doctors of Porn” we can’t profess that we are also “Doctors of Medicine” too! So although we can’t give out medical advice here, we’ve opened this forum to all to discuss and point to any reliable sources of information out there on the web. We have had readers write into Ask QC before on this subject here, but one site that struck us as very informative and personal (and run by one of your fellow country men) is NoMorePapules, run by Dennis from Sydney he created this back in 2006 due to his own frustration and lack of information about pearly penile papules treatment. Also there is some information on sebaceous prominence here.

Indeed there is an abundance of information out there if you Google, but we would certainly advise to take great caution with any home remedies offered without first seeking professional medical advice. And talking of advice, we’re also very sure that some of our readers are in the medical profession or have this condition too and can talk from their own personal experiences and to help raise awareness.

So dear QC readers if you’re able to give any useful information regarding Pearly Penile Papules and Sebaceous Prominence then please leave your opinions, experiences, and advice in the QComments section.
Need advice? Just send in your questions and the QCollective will get you some answers!
