The thing is keep it clean. I started using 2 cups epsom salt in a warm bath and that has cleaned out my pores ALOT. Also drink water its good for your skin. Stay away from milk because it causes alot of bad stuff.

I stared to beat it less and alot of the sabaceous are going away.

so i'm still going, but now i've had to start thinking about just living with them. these bumps have already caused me anxiety and depression, not to mention a non-existant sex life, and surely they cant be worth all this effort. but still, i can't imagine putting up with them, I dont think i'm that sort of person. so i'm going to continue, and see how the next month of application goes. fingers crossed.

IODINE: AVAIALABLE AS TINCTURE IODINE B.P FROM BOOTS OR ANY CHEMIST SOLD AS AN ANTISEPTIC AVAILABLE OVER THE COUNTER

ALCOHOL: AVAILABLE AS SOLUTION OR MORE COMMONLY AS 'STERILE WIPES' CAN BE FOUND IN LARGER CHEMISTS WILL DO THE JOB USED TO CLEANSE THE SKIN

I think the men reading this may appreciate a womanīs take on this subject. I just found out about pearly penile papules today! My sexual partner has them on his penis. He is uncircumcised and I thank God for that everytime we make love. It feels so much better then sex without a foreskin! But I digress.

I felt something with my tongue each time I would engage in oral sex with him and always sort of wondered what I was feeling....you see, like many of the replies I have read on this subject; he more often then not leaves the lights out. So yesterday I visually spotted them for the first time. I asked him what they were and he told me that they had been there for as long as he could remember and it had crossed his mind that maybe he had genital warts but he really didnīt think so.

I havenīt told him yet that I have discovered what they really are but Iīm planning to email him photos and information in the morning to help end his years of worrying.

My take on this is just this:
Men go out and buy ribbed condoms designed for her pleasure right? The go to sex shops and purchase little penile attachments designed to stimulate a woman vaginally...most of those little gadgets are ridged or have little bumps on them...so...what are you worried about guys??? As far as Iīm concerned this is like finding the ultimate prize in the Cracker Jack box! A man with a foreskin and little bumps; Thank you God!

So guys just be up front and present the facts straight out if she asks. Have a website ready to show her if she wants to know more and have a positive attitude about them. These magical little bumps really are a gift! Canīt wait to see my lover again!

I'm not through with it yet, but so far the results are great. Here's in detail what I did.

I got Walgreens 2% iodine in a small vial. The cap has an applicator which is just a plastic rod with a slit down the middle to act like a dropper.

I apply, in small drops, the iodine to a small portion of my penis head. You couuld do the whole thing, but I did this way for control. Great, so now I have a small puddle of iodine sitting there. I let it dry for a couple of minutes, and repeat. I do this AT LEAST 6 times. This is CRITICAL. You need good concentration or the iodine will just dissipate in the skin. It needs to cause sufficient skin damage right away or it won't work. After at least 6 applications, I let it dry for 15 minutes and wipe it gently with a rubbing alcohol pad.

I did this procedure twice a day, morning and evening. It doesn't tie you up, since you could be browsing the web while letting it dry, etc.. After 2 days of this, I noticed the area of the skin became red and leathery, and at this point applications of iodine started to sting just a little bit, but trust me, it's almost nothing, I hope guys don't wuss out because of this. Also, on the first few sessions, I noticed the skin remained clean after I wiped it with alcohol, but on the 2nd or 3rd day, it'll be harder to wipe off the iodine...the skin will remain brown. I think it's because the layer of skin is dead and absorbs/retains iodine well. But it doesn't matter. Once you get to this point, and notice wiping off iodine doesn't seem to remove it, as well as a leathery feeling to the skin, and redness...at this point stop applying iodine.

In a couple of days, you'll notice that area is covered by a rough film, kind of like when you spill strong glue on your fingers. DO NOT peel this off. Let it come off gradually.

Here's my results. After one such cycle of 3 days of application and several days waiting, half of the crust has peeled off, and the skin underneath is MUCH cleaner...the papules are smaller. So the method definitely works! Just remember to apply 6 coats at a time and wait for it to peel off once you see that you basically killed the top layer of skin.

Have you been applying neosporin for skin repair? also, when you apply iodine do you place it on each bump or spread it along the entire row?

I agree, iodine does improve the appearance of PPP, i'm just yet to actually see it get rid of the things for good. I've been at the treatment for 4 months, but i've seen improved results lately. I think my problem has been technique, because now i apply the iodine more precisely, with greater amounts and leave 20mins before wiping off with alcohol.

If these spots are because of sweat glands getting blocked, wouldnt a cream that drys up moisture work?

I haven't seen them come back yet. And yes, after the first day of applications, you will notice redness and tenderness of the skin. That's good....it means it's working. Keep applying for a few more sessions and then you'll start to notice peeling. Stop when that happens and wait for the scabs to come off before the next cycle.
