    Pearly papules in men may be caused by serious infection due to neglect of local hygiene care. It is necessary to do a good job in local cleaning and maintain hygiene. After a period of time, the condition will gradually improve.

    Pearly papules in men are generally caused by inadequate local hygiene care and bacterial infection. It is not ruled out that it is repeated inflammation of the glans foreskin, which stimulates the coronal sulcus of the glans and may cause papule-like changes. It is necessary to rinse the local area with water and keep the wound area clean and hygienic, which can help improve the pearly papules. If the symptoms persist for a long time and are not relieved, you can also apply erythromycin ointment, which can moisturize the skin and fight inflammation, and reduce irritation to the skin. Failure to change underwear for a long time or discharge of secretions or urine without timely treatment may cause the local area to be in a dark and humid environment, which is prone to pearly papules. It is necessary to develop the habit of changing underwear every day and keep the wound area clean and cared for to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. If the local skin is irritated after masturbation or sex, white pearly papules will form along the glans penis of the coronal sulcus.

    It is necessary to do local care work in daily life and develop the habit of changing underwear every day.
