Hi again another update. Ive been using the Roc Retinol cream for about 2 months and 1 week. Im supposed to use it for 3 months but Im giving up now, end of experiment! It hasn't helped me at all to get rid of these prominent sebaceous glands that are totally covering all of my foreskin infact it may have just increased them or made them slightly bigger!Before I try this iodine method Im going want to try that tetrinoin cream. Has anybody had any results with that? Also Id like to ask 2 more questions. 2)As I have mentioned before I have these pimples growing on my top lip as well IP: Logged |

Update. Been on the iodine treatment for 4 weeks/3days, thought it was workin but not so sure now. I definately got the bumps smaller, but saw little progress during weeks 3 and 4. Stopped for 3 days and applied Vitamin A cream, and now I can see that the papules have started to reapper in their old form. Damn depressing. So i've started again, same routine expect I'm gonna apply the Vitamin A cream every so often. I'm not sure when you're actually meant to apply cream during this treatment, it seems to help me peel+scab but the instructions were to apply it at the height of the scabbing cycle. So I'm not really sure. mattiscool, I don't have bumps on my foreskin, but I'd imagine that you're goin to have trouble applying iodine to each individual bump, so unless you can find a really accurate applicator, I think you're only option is to apply iodine to both the bumps and the healthy skin. Just be careful about sensitive areas, like your peehole! damn that would be messy, so have alcohol swabs ready to mop up any runaway iodine. As for applying to your lips, iodine leaves a yellow-brown stain for a while, so you'll need to find colorless iodine. and its poison, so you'll probably be unable to apply it near your mouth anyway. Good luck all, hopefully my next update brings better news! IP: Logged |

Don't use certain creams, I stopped treatment for 3 days, went surfing and applied anti-wrinkle cream with Retinol-A in it. They came back as they were, I think its a sign that I'm doin sumthin wrong or its just not workin. Still persisting though, I've started again, strictly twice a day. Lookin around for stronger Iodine though, at the moment i'm using 'weak' iodine tincture, and it doesnt specify the exact ethanol content. I've also got tincture of iodine with 87% Ethanol in it, but I'd say that would be much the same. Does anyone know if Betadine is just a brand name of Iodine? Bcoz I've got betadine that says it contains Povidine Iodine, but I don't know if it will have an impact or not. Cheers. [This message has been edited by bfl (edited 03-13-2003).] IP: Logged |

Fordyce spots and PPP are not quite the same thing. When you talk about spots on the shaft, are you sure you're not talking about simple hair follicles that we all have? Fordyce spots generally only occur on mucosal skin like the foreskin, labia, mouth... IP: Logged |

I beg to differ. PPP are small growths along the corona of the glans while Fordyce Spots are sebaceous glands under the suface of the skin. not quite the same thing. 1) Penile pearls (syn. pearly penile papules, papillae of the coronal sulcus or glans penis, hirsuties papillaris penis, coronal papilla) These congenital tiny swellings look like early genital warts but are arranged in rows regularly around the coronal sulcus or scattered over the glans penis. They are merely hypertrophic papillae with normal epidermal covering. They have no clinical significance and it is important not to misdiagnose them as genital warts. 3) Fordyce Spots This condition arises from the presence of ectopic sebaceous glands. It may be found under the prepuce and on the vulva. The lesion appear as multiple small, white or yellow spots in submucosa. IP: Logged |

I've olmost done it! im olmost completely clean of PPP. 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! IP: Logged |

Hmm. I don't know about the toothpaste. It just seems like there are too many chemicals like flouride in the toothpaste to be certainly good for the skin. Anyways, Keep me updated on that and tell me how it goes in the long run. Oh I just found out that these white dots on the left and right side of my uncircumsized frenulum are PPPs or at least i think they are. Theyre definitely pearly and prominant or whatever. I think I may try the Iodine as well, but I dont think I can be as committed. Has anyone just tried neosporin? Would'nt neosporin add moisture to the area? Keep me posted. Thanks Crayola IP: Logged |

quote: If you didn't know, you are supposed to have a couple of small white dots on either side of the frenulum. They are located right by the crease. Thay are called Tysons glands. Groups of small white dots located elsewhere on the foreskin are probably Fordyce spots. PPP, I believe are more skin colored and located along the rim of the glans. IP: Logged |

OK here the deal. I see what your saying about around the glans corona area i have these very small bumps that are'nt very noticable and skin colored. They must be what could become PPP, but thankfully they are so small. On the right and left of my frenulum right underneath the glans i have 2 white dots on the left and 4 on the right. They are like bulbs. I guess they must be the tysons glans, but why are they so big? Are they supposed to be this big? What are they for and can I use the iodine treatment to get rid of them or are they necessary? IP: Logged |

Ohgmah Member ![]() ![]() ![]() Posts: 33 |
hmm, never heard of tysons glands... lol oh i think i have PPP, they are VERy small and are along my coronal ridge, so damn small. it was hard for me to notice them.. do you think i should get some ROC cream, with the rentin-A in it, to maby prevent them from geting larger? because they probably will if left untreated IP: Logged |

OK I've been doing some research on Tysons glans. Apparently, they're buds that are based underneath the foreskin that produce a smegma substance that allows cells to flake off so the foreskin can stretch. The smegma is an oily substance and smells bad. Well, thats nice to know, but how do i reduce the size of these damn things. There are a couple on each side of the frenulum right underneath the glans. Thanks, Crayola. IP: Logged |

Hello all. I have a question for the people who are testing out the Iodine treatment. From recent post it seems it's one of the only techniques ( besides impossible laser surgery) that seems to work. I was just wondering if this is a process that has to be practiced every day to impede it's growth. What i'm asking is, is this a process of decreasing PPP temporarily? I don't want to be at war with decreasing, letting it grow back, decreasing, growing back...etc. For those of you far into it, tell me what happens after you take a break from the Iodine treatment. Does the progress you've made remain? or does this damn curse of men just revive itself? IP: Logged |

well ok I,ve used a tuuthpaste calt Signal. the ingredients are: Aqua,sorbitol,hydrated silicia,calsium,PEG-32,sodium Lauryl,sodium Fluoride and sodium Saccharin ( dont ask me what it is :s ) Well personal I think this is way more effective as Iodine quz of the time u must use it! But I must WARN you with the tuuthpaste , you skin will litterly come of after 3-4 days. Its CHEMICAL! but I realy dont care if my penis was red and I could peel the skin of, solong the PPP redused I was fine and verry gled it workt! Its bin 10 days for now and everything is fine! my penis look nice and SMOOTH! hehe no dirty little white bums But still whats out dudes this is the nasty way!! Cheers!IP: Logged |

I've been at the Iodine treatment for 8 weeks now, and the past week has definately seen some improvement. I increased the scabbing by applying Iodine on each bump until it turned a more brownish colour, which helped tell me that the iodine had covered the bump completely. I'm still at least 4 weeks away from a smooth success, but the last week has givin me some optimism. This iodine treatment is a damn long process, and very tough mentally (especially if its not working for u). IP: Logged |

Hi Omagh you have these PPP spots on your upper lip too eh. Theyre actually Fordyce spots but they look just like PPP anyway. I dont know how bad yours will get but mine started about 2 years ago very tiny hardly noticeable but now theyre all over my bloody lip and it's incredibly unfortunate because Im just told that theres nothing you can do so live with it, but thats an answer that sinks my heart every time I hear it! Theyre still getting worse and plus theyre totally all over my foreskin too! All I can say is I really hope you dont get it as bad as me cos you will feel like crap. It makes you feel very self conscious just talking to anyone, plus expecting a girl to kiss you and not feel disgusted is maybe hoping for to much too! I dont know what to do! I look at the options, laser treatment will leave scars, tretinoin cream is poisonous if you put on lips, iodine is ofcourse poisonous, and other creams just dont work. Sorry that was no help to anyone here but I just have to let it out cos here's the only place I can. IP: Logged |

crayola110 Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posts: 121 |
Hey Matt there must be some way to get rid of them especially if they're impacting your life so much. Perhaps laser surgery? Or maybe go to a couple dermatologists for second opinions. There has to be a cure for it somewhere...I mean it is cosmetics...there are people who have collogene implanted, lips so there must be a way to get rid of the Fordyce spots. IP: Logged |

I've tried Clearasil - Stay Clear - Deep Clean Astringent, and saw very good results for PPP. Its a clear liquid and comes in a tall bottle. It contains 2% Salicylic Acid acne medication. Also contains: water, SD Alcohol 40-B, Triethanolamine, Menthol, Fragrance & Disodium EDTA. It is kind of strong for the sensitive skin there, and after a few applications skin may begin to peel. But thats a good sign! It dries out the area. When I say dry, I mean DRY! Leaving moisture is the enemy when it comes to treating these, and this dries out the area. BE CAREFUL AND TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now it didn't clear them up completely, but I had them so big and prominent before where they would stand out and be so obviously white. Now they are about skin tone, and have gotten extremely smaller in size. (When I have an erection, they are barely noticable!!!) One important fact of attempting to treat PPP, no matter what method you try is, to KEEP GOOD HYGIENE. Shower daily and keep the area clean, or else - NO RESULTS! Think about it, and if you can't do this, then you'll have to listen to those damn doctors and dermatologists who tell us to live with it. My bottle is almost done. One more thing. If you apply this more than 3 times a day, or too much, you will experience a burning sensation. Its somewhat painful, and remember the skin is too sensitive there for certain things, so once again ATTEMPT USING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm still looking for that solution which will rid me of these suckers, and their roots. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of prominent sebaccueous glands under the penis along the shaft, please let me know.

Almost 9 weeks now, and the last week has sucked! I keep tellin myself that they are clearin up, but they always seem on the verge of dissapearing, but they never actually improve from that stage. And none have completely gone yet. Maybe my iodine isn't strong enough, or it could be that I never have proper scabbing/healing cycles, they just reduce in size gradually. Anyone who has attempted the iodine treatment please put some posts up and just explain how you went about it, whether it worked or not. All info is helpful in some way. I'm gonna keep tryin, maybe up the treatment to 3 times a day for a couple of weeks. Keep posting all, discussion will always help! Mattiscool, keep your head up mate! I suggest you keep trying different dermatologists and plastic surgeons, just be really open with them, it's their job to try and help. The plastic surgeons will probably be the way, they're into making money! And try talking about your problem with someone face-to-face, like a counsellor, a GP, or close family member or somethin, might make it a bit easier for ya once you open up about it. IP: Logged |
