Your papules can grow worse over time The process of fibrogenesis that leads to the development of PPP doesn’t just stop when your papules first appear. In fact, pearly penile papules are known to keep growing well into old age. That’s because PPP formation is fueled in part by testosterone.
Talk to your doctor if the papules are causing a problem. Pearly penile papules are a normal anatomical variation, they are harmless, and they are not contagious. However, if the papules are causing you significant distress, talk to your doctor.
Your dermatologist may be able to use cryotherapy to freeze the growths off. Without treatment, your penile papules can grow smaller with time and may even go away on their own. Penile papules do not pose any health concerns.

What are penile adhesions. Penile adhesions in circumcised boys occur when the penile shaft skin adheres to the glans of the penis. There are three types of penile adhesions: glanular adhesions, penile skin bridges and cicatrix.
Penile skin bridges are adhesion between penile shaft skin and the glans penis after circumcision.[1] They may tether the circumcised penis during erections, causing deformity and occasionally pain.[2] Skin bridges constitute healed surgical wounds and require division for correction.[1]
