1) Are pearly penile papules dangerous and are they infectious?
No. The papules are not dangerous and are nothing to be concerned about. The main concern that sufferers have is how others will react to them. Many people who we meet have had negative responses from sexual partners at some point in their past due to the presence of the papules. Pearly penile papules are not sexually transmitted infections and cannot be transmitted from one person to another. Find out the basics about PPP on our homepage.

4) Is it painful to remove the papules?
The procedure that Dr. Joshua Berkowitz carries out at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London is not painful and can be done under a local anaesthetic which is applied as a cream. Following the treatment, patients are fully mobile and can continue with their day-to-day responsibilities.

5) Does it take long for the penis to recover fully?
Many patients do not require any sort of pain relief following the removal of their papules. A full recovery is made within 8 - 10 days of the treatment, but during this time the level of discomfort is at an absolute minimal.

6) Does it hurt to urinate after the treatment?
Absolutely not - Urination is pain-free! However, we would not advise on having sexual intercourse for approximately 8 -10 days after the procedure.

7) Where does Dr Berkowitz carry out the procedure?
Dr Berkowitz is based at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London, UK, and carries out all of his procedures at this clinic. People often ask us to recommend alternative doctors who may be located nearer to where they live, however at this time we are unaware of anybody else specialising in this field. As a result, clients come from far and wide to see Dr Berkowitz and it is not uncommon for patients from other countries to visit London in order to receiver treatment for their papules.

8) Is there any risk of the PPP treatment causing impotence?
Absolutely not. The treatment that Dr Berkowitz carries out does not effect the function of the penis and runs no risk of triggering impotence. The treatment is safe, effective and is not harmful to the patient's genitals.
