A member asked:

Do pearly penile papules go away on there own? or do i have to go to the doctor to be peerscribes an anti biotic?

Pearly Papules: Though there is no risk to your health with pearly penile papules, you don’t have to live with them. If you are feeling self-conscious or embarrassed by them, carbon dioxide laser ablation can remove or reduce the appearance of the bumps. Remember that you do not have to do anything at all. Just know that you have an option.
