Hello everyone. I didn't really even skim over this topic, but I read the first couple of posts on the first page and this sounds like what I have. I have this one tiny pimple/wart thing and yes, its pearly. I've had it for about 2 years now. When I first got it, or maybe even when it was that noticable, I thought it was a pimple since I had acne at the time, I tried to pop it and nothing. So from what little I read, theres no treatment?

ive had PPP for three years now (im almost 15) and it really sucks, i really want to have sex inside but im scared to because of these spots, its ruining my life, im not going out as much as i used to either. I dont like getting too involved with girls incase they notice it and if i do have sex i dont want to have it in the day time, ive got them all over my foreskin and around my corona or whatever the technical word is, ive also got lots of small purple and red veins around my foreskin and their not too attractive either, its so frustrating because i know theres no cure for someone of my age (im not having laser treatment) ive even tried rubbing them off, its actually been quite successfull but i used a rough brush on the shaft and it has left a sort of scar on the skin, its gradually fading away and there are no spots there (2 years of healing and its still there, but still gradually fading) ive got them on my sack too and it really sucks!! i dont know if il ever let a girl give me head shel definately feel them and well... alot of ppl would find out about it beleive me so id rather just keep it low key on the sex and try to get rid of them myself, rubbing it seems to be working but very gradually, i cant do it too much or i will scar or have sore skin, too little and it wont have any effect, i think im getting it about right now, but i would think this is gona take at least a year to get rid of them at this rate, ive heard its not healthy to rub them though, im too scared to go to the doctor, i mean what will i say when he asks about the scar id just be too embaressed. This is the best place ive found for anything so far, some people with the same views as me who really want something done about it, because we all know its not normal and we all know how uncomfortable it feels and how much it affects our self esteem, I JUST WANT THEM GONE! The day i can just live a normal sex life is the day i will be a happy man. IP: Logged |

I know people don't want to hear about creams and stuff but this one (Keracnyl Cream) does sound interesting. Kerato-regulating & sebo-regulating is what it says it does. I remember hearing about kerato in another post, think it was that topic started in the male anatomy section. Kerato was to do with Fordryce spots if Im correct. Also, I looked in the skin problems (or whatever its called) section and seen that people have this problem all over the body. Im gonna keep an eye on there just incase anything comes up. But Im gonna try this cream. I think I have 2 sebaceous cysts on my elbow, so Im gonna apply the cream there before I put it on my foreskin. Until we find something, don't see the harm in trying it... IP: Logged |

I found it on a website (obviously can't say which) and its £10 (Im from the UK). It just looks like a normal over the counter cream so I don't think theres any need for a perscription. I havent bought it yet but should do sometime this week. I'll let everyone know how I get on with it. IP: Logged |

Landmine! Did that Oilatum really work for you and how long did it take for you to see effects? Also, how often do you need to apply it? I was thinking about going to the drug store tomorrow to look for it. Would I find it there, or will I have to go to my doctor's pharmacy? Please answer these questions. Oh yea... It worked for your PPP (temporarily I know) but do you think it will also give temporary relief for sebaceous glands? ------------------ IP: Logged |

Landmine?! I bought that Oilatum at the drug store today and applied it to my PPP and sebaceous glands just a few minutes ago as I came out the shower. The one I bought is a 250mL white bottle with a blue label and writing of clear liquid but it says it contains Light liquid paraffin 63.4% and PEG40 which is not exactly what you wrote you have! Also, I don't see the other ingredients that you listed on the back of the bottle. It says to combine the application while water is still on the skin so that is what I did. If you're reading this could you please answer the questions in my previous post. Thanks. Let me know how your treatment went, and how often I should apply it.

I just showered and re-applied the Oilatum and I noticed something I've never noticed before! I saw small, thin hairs growing out of a few of the sebaceous glands! At first I was shocked and upset, but now I'm not sure because that may be a good thing. It is only the first day (second application) and maybe as they decrease in size a hair is bound to be exerted because they are hair follicles, are they not? I just thought this was strange but not likely a coincidence, and is in fact due to this new liquid. I'll keep you posted on the progress. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I have about a hudred of the sebaceous glands. I'm tired of people saying the laser treatment gets rid of them forever. It cant. Every few months I get more I can tell wehn there coming I start itching a little more than normal. Does any elses bumps on the shaft itch? Also replying to wowser I use more salt than most people and I dont sweat much. I'm also very skinny almost anorexic looking. For all you guys with the sebaceous glands are you under weifgt or skinny? Does anyone think this is hereditory? I got some of my bumps lasered off they just came back worse (stupid doctor) Laser treatment isnt the answer new bumps can occer else where. The bumps on my penis are even starting to go to other parts of my penis besides the shaft anyone else have this problem. Oh yeah searhn for a cure keep up yhe good work your my only hope. Some are bigger than others. IP: Logged |

guys i have ppp [ i think ] and have been following the board. however im not entirely sure if i actually have PPP and it would be pointless tryin to get rid of them if i didnt. Images i have seen have shown the spots spread about, whereas my pimples are very close together, touching each other. In little clusters. They are also white. Can someone please tell me if this is definately PPP or could someone show me a picture of someone with similar spots. Thanks ppl IP: Logged |

hey ive been reading this message board for awhile and ive had fordyce or whatever for quite a while now. ive got them on my balls, shaft, under the foreskin you name it. the spots under my foreskin are much smaller and closely packed. while the ones on my shaft are further apart and a little bit larger. not to sound like a whiner but this has made me miserable and lonely. ive got them a little bit on my top lip as well. i was reaidng a post earlier and i have very light eyes and used to have bad migraines as a child. well i hope we can find a cure sometime soon. peace [This message has been edited by bfl (edited 09-16-2003).] IP: Logged |

Waded through about 7 pages of this and I very very impressed. I didnt know that so many guys had problems like this (sebacious glands, PPP, etc.) Just reding this board has actually instilled a sense of confidence in me, knowing that its not as abnormal as I thought. On that note: I defiatly think some of you guys stree too much about it. Sure, if it's really preventing you from having sex thats one thing. But... did you ever consider that its more of a mental thing than a physical? For those of you that have had sex here, how many women actually cared about these bumps? From my other post [URL]http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/Forum116/HTML/003037.html [/URL] even though I only got a few responses it seems that women don't care as much as we think. It's like the penis size thing, more guys compare than girls. SO we watch porn, see all these huge, smooth penises, and say, why isnt mine like that? In reality I think you just need to say "screw this" and don't let it get ya down. If women are actually rejecting you because of it, thats one thing. But, if you are the one causing the stress, just lay off, and have some fun. Just tryin to help you guys out, hope it works.

I've read almost all of this thread, and I still think its hard to decipher the difference between PPP, sebaceous prominence, and Fordyce Spots. As far as I know, PPP is MAINLY on the underside of the head of the penis. I think i have this, but the only way you would notice is if you stretch the skin out...and why the hell would u do that in that spot. Now I think I also have sabeceous prominence. I have little pimple like pumps that most can secrete some whitish-yellow stuff if u squeez. Some hurt, and some don't. They go about 2/3 the way up my shaft of my penis. The ones near the head (about a 1/3 of the length away) seem to be in a lined pattern just like that of the appart PPP i have on the underside of the head. They look just like them aswell, but the ones on the shaft can secrete some of that oil stuff, while the PPP on the head cannot. Also, near the bass of my penis is where these little bumps tend to be more concentrated, almost as in clumps. When my penis is erect, u can only see a few. But when the skin is stretch when masturbating, or when my penis turns red after it orgasms, u can definilty see these "blimishes". There are also bumps on my scrotum that are more raised, where the hairs come out....I dont mind these at all...bot on ur penis? Thats not cool. I don't know if i should go to my doctor or not, i think i'll ask her if i can try westcort. I did some research on that and I guess its recommended for inflamation of bumps on the skin and what not. Help me out. IP: Logged |

there is another treatment it is a very painful and undergoing process that i haven't tried yet. i hear that the little bumbs don't like dryness well in this case the most powerful thing that i could find was liquid wart remover it has 10% salistic acid in it and will it burn like heck but it will only take a few days because it will make ur skin peal the second day after.

well to tell you the truth i already have tried it but it must have been like a year ago i put the wart remover on 5 seconds later burning like no other. next day my skin was really dry and peeled off. i don't really remember the results but i would like to try it again because it is basicaly 20x faster that iodien all it does is speed up the progress but it is very painful but i am going to undergo it and try i will tell you more results later good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!

Charger240, I pretty much have exactly the same deal as you. The groups whitey lumps under my skin at the base of my shaft going about 2/3 of the way up. Also lumps at the base of all the hairs on my sack. However I dont have any sign of ppp around the rim of my penis, but there are more concentrated groups of them further down on the shaft on the inside of the foreskin. If this isnt ppp could someone please let me know. Otherwise everything sounds the same as what the rest of you are experiencing. I feel the same was as all of you and feel your pain. Im 15 and its getting to around the time where chicks are wanting to have sex with you and you start getting propositioned. I am still a virgin though because of my problem. Its very depressing and like you others Ive had it since a little before my teens and only really come to realise what it is within the last 2 years. Its very depressing because if you have a personality like mine it makes it very hard to get close to a chick without worrying. Im not the kind of person to screw a chick with the lights out so she doesnt notice at first either, personally I think thats a bit shallow. One thing thats has sprung out at me is the fact that everybody here seems to have the same conditions combined. Sebaceous hyperplasia, ppp and Fordyce’s. Also I have an inkling that most people here do or have at some stage masturbated a little bit more than usual. I dont know about others but I would consider myself a little more sex drive that most others. I also seem to maintain erections for a long time and quite often. It seems to me that these conditions are not viral but an effect of too much hormone which in my guess is testosterone. Excess of testosterone fits in with the higher sex drive and other symptoms people have mentioned. Others as well have indicated that they think its testosterone related. Also I noticed in some porno i saw both the males and females have what looks a bit like Sebaceous. Fits in too.. they are always stimulating their genitals and have crazy sex drive. Try to look at our conditions like acne. Hormones caused the body to produce more oils or whatever causing the poures on the face to become blocked etc. It is regenerative because none of the treatments are stopping the source of it. They are just diminishing the effects of it. Its pretty easy to see whats been done there is similar to what were doing. Drying out the genital reigon is a short term fix just weakening the condition. People who have lots of testosterone are masturbating alot etc. When the two combine it seems to cause/increase the symptoms of ppp etc. Perhaps having high testosterone levels is producing oils etc that will clog poures and when you masturbate because of increased sex drive it is agitating the area causing the condition. Im not sure thats just a guess. Someoen said after smoking weeda bit (which is known to reduce testosterone levels) their symptoms decreased. Also someone said after having sex with a woman the same thing happened. Well having sex with a woman is satisfying your desires and maybe lowering your testosterone levels for a bit and weed is definitely decreasing testosterone. Im thinking just like people with acne who have overactive oil glands etc, we suffer from our problems because of high testosterone levels. Wouldnt the logical way to start looking for what causes our problems be looking for traits that we all share and finding a pattern. Im sure that would help us alot in finding what is actually causing out trouble. Does anyone want to make up a few questions like the ones below that we could all answer, then we will be able to pick out a pattern that everyone shares. do you have oily skin?

i have ppp but havnt yet tried anything to eliminate them. ive had them 4 over 2years. theres not a day that goes by that i wish they wernt there, but this is life. ive reasearchd alot and find this forum excellent in uniting the fight against ppp. personally i cudldnt care less if i have sumthing in my body that makes this problem, its just the size and pressence that bothers me. my best advise is 2 use 1100 ppm colloidal silver these three things combined should eliminate the problem. i have only heard good reports and succes stories from it. forget everthing else for the time being. my personal views on the problem are that it does have sumthing to do with masterbating. please follow my advise and reply soon. best of luck!!

There's an acne medication called Finacea (azelaic acid gel, 15%). This cream opens up pores to allow more oxygen in to prevent and kill bacteria. The majority of men with PPP are uncircumcised... so obviously the foreskin is contributing somehow to the condition. But there are 'some' uncircumcised guys that have PPP too. I believe PPP is very similar to acne. Of course it's not a virus because than it would be considered an STD. Signs point to bacteria clogging the pores on the corona. Foreskin may encourage the condition whereas circumcised folk (as rare as it may be for them) probably just have a rare pore dysfunction in that area. So all in all, my theory is if you use a cream that opens up the pores to let more oxygen in it should help. As mentioned before, drying agents just over stimulate the pores and create more bumps in the long run. Finacea is a mild medicine so I have no problem in trying it to see if it works. It is also absorbed quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue. Let me know what you all think... and I'll certainly let you all know how it goes.

hi once again, i am only 15 and have ppp. i am circumcised, i think, but i still have a nice length of foreskin. when i was younger especially, my penis would retract into the foreskin most of the day which might be a contributing factor. i have extreme trouble controlling my erections and i once read on here that someone thinks that ppp may be in connection with testerone. i'm not 100% sure but i believe that testerone is what signals the blood to flow to the penis so maybe ppp is the result of too much testosterone. it's just a theory though. also it sounds a lot like there could be several different things that can cause ppp because we all seem so different except for excesive masturbation. ( but to be honest i think that that may be moreso connected to the fact that we aren't getting any) i too think that in its own right ppp is very similar to acne. maybe a stronger type of acne that would require a stronger acne medication. one more guess,(hey, i know it's a lot to take in), maybe, just maybe, there is a material being produced in our bodies that our penises need to "operate as intended". maybe our bodies just happen to be producing more than our penises need so these bumps are like little stores of the material. look at it this way, if the production of this material relies on water, from an external source (in biology we were told that faucet water is different from the water in our bodies) then the production is slowed down when water isn't present. this would explain the shrinkage in the bumps because our penises would begin to use their stores of the material. i know it's outlandish and full of loop holes but its worth a shot. i say we should start thinking creatively and focus more on what is causing them than zany, not to mention dangerous, cures. good luck fellas [This message has been edited by wowser2003 (edited 09-27-2003).] IP: Logged |

do you have oily skin? how much do you sweat on a 1-10 scale? how strong is/has your sex drive been (1-10 scale)? how often do you masterbate? how often do you excercise? do you still have your foreskin?
I dont sweat that much, only really in summer ofcourse but nothing un normal. Id say my sex drive is about 7 though still a virgin. I dont masterbate that much id say proabaly normal for my age and thats been the case growing up. I dont think masterbation has anything to do with it like lots of people suggest. I dont excercise at all now, I used to at school alot but now its just walking to the bus stop etc. Yeh I still have foreskin and on it their are hundreds of fordyce spots. On the shaft I have sebaceous glands with hairs coming out of them which come all the way upto my foreskin. And I have ppp on the rim of the head under the foreskin. Other people reply to this topic and describe exactly what you got, it all helps. IP: Logged |

Just a note on the keracnyl cream, Ive got my student loan cheque so once it goes through I'll buy it. Probably this time next week I'll order it. *Do you have oily skin? Like the other person said, its only my nose. Infact, I suffer from dry skin. I get it a lot on my arms and a little on my face. *How much do you sweat on a 1-10 scale? I dont sweat much at all. An average amount.. maybe even below average. *How strong is/has your sex drive been (1-10 scale)? Obviously, Im still a virgin thanks to these spots. But I would say about a 7. *How often do you masterbate? Changes. Sometimes I do it every day for a week, sometimes once or twice a week. Depends how much free time I have. Once I stopped for 2 weeks and it didnt change the spots. I am stopping for the whole of November (bet with a mate) so we'll see how 4 weeks without it goes. *How often do you excercise? Never. Only excercise I get is if Im walking somewhere (bus stop, around town etc). *Do you still have your foreskin? I do. It has a lot of sebaceous glands (some with hair). The ones at the top of the shaft (as in Im looking down onto it) dont look as prominent as the ones underneath. I also have fordyce spots around the end of the foreskin which are slowly increasing.

I know that PPP dont like dryness. So i figured , Tuthpast! yes that stuff you bresh your theeth with! Its contains a lot of Mint and other stuff that will defenly dry you skin out! I put the tuthpast before i go too sleep on the erea en wait till its dry. (aprox 15 min).than i go too sleep , and the tuthpast will do the work! only one thing! i did this for 4 days and its a little bit irritated now ,it itches and i can peel the skin off! so i wait 2 or 3 days till i continue. But i had about 100 of those PPP spots , and now after 4 days i have about 20 left! So i think this is the way for me, And i hope this is the way for you too!
