Treatment of Pearly Penile Papules with Fractionated CO2 Laser.

OBJECTIVE: Pearly penile papules are asymptomatic, benign growths distributed around the corona of the penis that can frequently be a source of significant psychological distress for the patient. Various treatment options are limited mainly by their complications.

DESIGN: Two case reports and a review of the literature.

SETTING: University academic setting.

PARTICIPANTS: Two subjects of skin types I and V.

MEASUREMENTS: Visual inspection and photographs were used to determine clearance.

RESULTS: Two cases of pearly penile papules that were successfully treated using a fractionated CO2 laser.

CONCLUSION: The fractionated CO2 laser is a well-tolerated treatment for pearly penile papules. Importantly, this modality is useful even in darker skin types.
