well i been doing some research and i found a good web page thats quite old now but you can still post on it. its got some good information on there about ppl who are fedup with this trying to find a cure.

posted 01-02-2003 09:39 PM            

Also another suggestion which did seem to have a small kind of result was using an antiwrinkle cream which had retinol or retin-a in it which is basically vitamin A to rub over the area. He said it did reduce them over time but doesnt get rid of them completely. I think that cream treatment was more for prominent sebaceous glands that grow on the penis skin.

The big treatment that seems to be some kind of cure but dont bet your life on it untill u tried it urself is the use of iodine on the ppp or the sebaceous glands.
Basically he suggests applying iodine to the pimples till they soak it up then rubbing with alcohol. Thats the basic jist of it but he goes into more detail on the website. More than one guy swears it works and there were a few happy chappys indeed!

I am first going to try the antiwrinkle cream, im gonna try ROC retinol antiwrinking cream and see if that helps in any way.
I will then try a product called tretenoin or sumthin like that and if no luck there i will try the iodine procedure. I so pray to god it works cos having these pimples spread all over ur penis is bad enough and prevents u from having sex but having them over your lips as well is quite devestating! I cant even kiss a girl, i have to use lip pencil to try and cover these pimples up and for a male that is horrible!

For one thing ill just say i agree with u lot when youre told oh their normal dont worry bout them, theres nothing you can do about them! you know how it can destroy your life and believe me its destroyed all my teenage years and is still doing so now and im 22!

We gotta fight to find a way to stop these cos I want my life back and so does everyone else who suffers badly from these!
That website or should i say message board certainly gets you in touch with other ppp and sebaceous gland suffers and certainly gives us all hope, its rlly quite inspirational!

Rite you'll want to know the address to go to,its actually an old message board that dates back from 2000 to the present day so I hope they wont mind me posting this address, I apologise if its not permitted.
Now one thing to say is that its a very very long message board but find the time to read rite through it if your desperate like me you will anyway, and honestly it could change your life I only found the site 2 days ago so im yet to try out any of the methods.

Well I hope ive been of some help to you, i know how bad you lot feel and i dont want other people suffering like me so ill do anything to help combat these monsters they call PPP and prominent sebaceous glands!
Ok look through it urself and make ur own mind up.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

mattiscool2002 i also have white little bumbs all over the forskin, but hey one step at a time. All i can tell you is try the Retinol medications, and post up some progress. U can use any medication u prefer but u can use vitacilina on ur lip, it goes on smooth and its clear and not to glossy. I dont think you want to circumsize, try these first. Any 1 that can help mattiscool2002 with prominent sebaceous glands post up, theres gotta be some 1 out there ready this.

For those of us who dont like living with PPP, get the Retinol medications. (I've been the guinee pig) and i can say they smooth out PPP so that its not even noticable. I dont know any long term effects but im just hoping there aint none.

For those who tell everyone else to Live with it. U can live with it, cause im not. I dont know about you but i need to have sex. And i love getting head!

Any 1 wants to use VITACILINA it is an over the counter medication.

Good luck

I think other people should do the same and report there findings week by week or every fortnight with different products, it will be immensly useful to people with ppp and sebaceous glands.

While PPP is not a health risk, it means a long explanation when getting your dick out in front of a girl for the first time, to assure them that they are not infectious or dangerous. With dermatologists telling me that PPP affects 10% of men, I can't believe no one knows about it or discusses PPP. There is a huge lack of information about PPP.

I've seen urologists, sex clinics, plastic surgeons and dermatologists about PPP, all telling me they are 'no problem', 'normal' and 'nothing to worry about'. It's damn annoying, because I never seem to get this reaction from girls when they are staring at the foreign, white bumps on my dick!

mattiscool2002 i'm sympathetic with you man, i'm hopin that you can at least get them off your lips with this new cream you're trying. I'm keen to hear how you and others go with the treatment, I hope somethin can be found to help us PPP-guys out.

However, he also told me to go away and think hard about going through with it, which I have. I haven't gone back, i'm too scared of having the operation go wrong. If it did go wrong, damage could be irreparable. As well as this, I wasn't confident with the doctor, coz he wasn't very detailed and you've got to be careful with plastic surgeons (coz they can be money-hungry).

The talk on this board about different creams is great, except i wish one was a fullproof cure. You're right, the man/woman who invents a cure for PPP would rake in the cash, as all men with PPP would be using it straight away.

Keep us posted on results, very interested to see how you go with the cream. I'm goin 2 see my local doctor soon to get some vitamin A cream, i'll give it a try and let you know how i'm goin.

As for that website well I did post it on here but it was edited off and I was told if I did it again I would be banned which makes you feel bad when you know in your heart your trying to help people with a life ruining in some cases problem!
All I suggest is to read that post again m8, the clues are there ok.

posted 02-06-2003 03:24 AM            

anyway, my retinol-A cream didn't show any signs after a week and a bit of usage, which sucked. i've now started the iodine/alcohol treatment 2nite, which is probably a last resort b4 tryin co2 laser. hope it works hey!

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FROM a guy called MASTER PPP. not mine but i will post them for the world to see, Because i think we can all beneffit from his discovery. so long as i give him the credit because he deserves it.

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I Dont Want no little biatches crying like BUSTER ASS BABIES, because they hurt themselves with the treatment, and cant follow directions.

HERE IT GOES WHAT U ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IN QUOTES:

"I have tried a whole different remedy with great success. I am 26 have been diagnosed with PPP. I have had them since age 15 and they have spread and multiplied over the years. Fed up with what I once thought were genital warts, I recently tried an old folk wart-remedy and applied average over-the-counter iodine and ya know what? IT WORKS!!!! now before you get all excited, i must state that it took me almost 2 months of religious application 2 times a day. i would fully saturate the affected circumference of my penishead and let the iodine soak into the skin until it dried out and would stain the bumps a reddish-orange color.....i would repeat this process twice then i would wait about 10 minutes and then rub the area gently with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.You see, iodine is a mild poison that destroys skin cells and the alcohol breaks down the iodine and effectively dries the skin out - apparently PPP does not like dry conditions. By creating a constant cycle of tissue destruction/regeneration you will experience light scabs that peel off by themselves (DO NOT PEEL WITH YOUR FINGERS, LET THEM FALL OFF IN THE SHOWER!) and each time the skin sheds, the bumps will get smaller. I am pleased to report that they have completely disappeared!!! If you want to try this then here are a few tips and warnings
1. Shower first and use mild non-chemical soap to gently cleanse the area. I use Dr. Bronner's all-natural soaps. Lavender works very well as an antiseptic and skin moisturizer/soother..the baby mild aloe is also very kind to sensitive skin...both are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You can buy these soaps at your local health food stores and organic pharmacies..for more info go to:

2. Get iodine with at least 50% alcohol content to avoid overdosing the skin. Apply it only to the bumps themselves and let a nice layer of it sit on the area until dry. Once it has evaporated, apply again and wait 10 minutes before you rub out thoroughly but gently with alcohol-soaked cotton swabs. It will burn a little at first but after the 1st and 2nd treatments you wont feel anything.

NOTE: For those uncircumsized like me, be sure to keep your foreskin pulled back for a while after you apply this treatment. You certainly dont want to let the iodine to become absorbed by the healthy skin that covers your glans (penis head). I usually wait 15 additional minutes after the alcohol rub before letting my foreskin relax. In general it is good practice to keep foreskin pulled back as often as possible to create the ideal dry condition. Despite all precautions, you may experience a mild irritation on your foreskin. if this happens, apply a very light layer of the iodine on it and then rub off with alcohol once it dries. You must do this to prevent the spread of PPP (because it spreads to damaged skin that is unsanitized) To accelerate the healing process, you may apply Neosporin or the oily filling of regular Vitamin E gel capsules

3. During the scabbing cycle, the skin will become hard and leathery. DO NOT pick at it or touch it. It is also very unwise to masturbate or have sex during this stage as you can split the scab open and cause delay with healing time. You can discontinue the treatment at any time to monitor your progress or just to get your rocks off. Once in a while I would get real antsy and HAVE to wack off so I would lay off the treatment for a week and wait for the new skin to grow out then spank the ol monkey a few times before another shower and iodine treatment. Never Jerk off without showering afterwards since accumulated semen and smegma do not help this condition

4. This treatment works best with the bumps that line the circumference of the penis head. I also happen to have those nasty sebacious bumps on my base & shaft and have had some success with the iodine remedy. If you want to tackle the shaft bumps, be prepared for a long battle because the skin is thicker and oilier than the skin on the head. I find it works best if you treat only a few of them at a time to avoid the discomfort and general weird feeling of a long scabby penis. To date i have removed 3 shaft bumps that were larger than the rest. I will probably leave the smaller ones alone since there are so many of them and it takes so damn long.

5. Everyone is different, your condition may require more or less doses then mine. I suggest starting out the first week applying the iodine once a day then work you way gradually up until you get my dosage and experiment with what works best for you. This may not be as convenient and fast as laser surgery, but it sure is a lot less expensive and painful since you control the dosages and iodine is really cheap anywhere you go.

6. To increase the recovery time of your skin you should also fight the bumps from the inside and give yourself an immunity booster. Buy some ground-up flax seeds and sprinkle a spoonful in some green tea. You can also use it as a substitute for butter in baking recipes. Flax seeds are rich source of omega 3 fatty acids which are awesome for skin recovery and are usually recommended as dietary supplement to genital warts patients. I also buy vitamin-E gelcaps both taken orally and busted open to apply topically on occasion (makes a great lube for jerkin off). It really does make a difference in the recovery time once you get into these good habits. You also want to keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of clean bottled or filtered water to keep your cell regeneration at its best. You know your are golden when your piss is not, clear urine indicates the optimal level of fresh bodywater.

Try this treatment at your own risk and follow all of the steps. It is important to be well-nourished, hydrated and CLEAN. it has been a long ordeal, fighting these stupid bumps on my cock yet despite the inconvenience of sticking to a daily regimen, I am glad i went through the discipline & trouble because now I have a nice smooth penis to show for my efforts. Now fully healed, I have not lost any sensitivity, in fact it is more baby soft and sensitive than it used to be!...I hope this helps some of you accomplish the same results. Good Luck my PPP brothers!

"XIEOE"- THIS IS A ? SOMEONE HAD ASKED MASTER PPP

Scabbing takes about 2-3 days. Yes you can apply the treatment on the scabs...in fact it speeds up the process considerably. As mentioned previously, it is advsed to stop treatment once in a while (maybe every 2 weeks you take 2 days off) to monitor progress. try it mildly at first and see how your body responds. Only you can determine how much is too much.

XIEOE- THIS IS ANOTHER ? BEING ANSWERED BY MASTER PPP

There are a few concerns i would like to address.
1. Yes, the papules go deeper than you would think. you must continue this treatment even after the bumps flatten out in order to eradicate the roots. The iodine will show you how far to go since it will adhere more to the papules than the surrounding healthy flesh. Once you have successfully flattened the bumps out, you will notice darker spots on them after application...when these dark spots are gone, so are the papules. The real key is to NEVER pick at the dry skin, or you will expose the bumps prematurely and set yourself back to square one. This was a hard-learned lesson for me, and it is amazing how difficult it was not to mess around with the dry skin, since i admittedly enjoy picking any scab that shows up on my body. If you stick by this rule, you will save yourself a lot of time and stress, i cannot emphasize it enough.

2. Tenderness is normal the first day or two...if you are sore after the first 48 hours, its time to cut back your dosage. Take a 2 day break to let your skin heal a bit and when you start up again, try cutting the dosage by half. Try one day of treatment followed by a day of recovery/cleanliness/relaxation. Remember that everyone will get different bodily responses from this treatment and you should start off mild and work your way up. The stain will completely disappear once the scab falls off IN THE SHOWER. hot water works best to get the shedding process goin...dont overdo it tho..

3. I do not recommend the use of peroxide. In my case, it did more harm than good. Peroxide can damage the skin without the benefit of a protective scab thus facilitating the spread of the papules. I have used it with limited success on the shaftbumps but the white fizzing pain just aint worth it in my opinion (and this is coming from a guy who doused his prick with iodine for 2 months)

4. If you have a loving partner who accepts your silly willy, then there is no need to undergo the tedium of this treatment. Learn to accept what ya got. If you like a little variety in your life like I do, then it is infinitely easier to avoid explanations whenever you are getting questioned after a blow job. The truth is that half the women I end up messin with either dont notice or dont care. I did this for myself and the other 50% of fine ass that I missed out on cuz the chicks got freaked when their lips ran across unfamailiar terrain. I dont pretend to have all the answers and in fact i am convinced that there is probably a better way to get rid of these thing without surgery that mebbe some chinese guy in the mountains has discovered. But until I find that elusive remedy, I will continue to endorse the iodine drip becuz it has served me well!

Happy Self-Mutilation Yall! "

XIEOE- THERE U GUYS HAVE IT BY THE MASTER PPP HIMSELF
IF ANYONE OF U WANTS TO THANK HIM AFTER U HAVE REMOVED PPP, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEND HIM AN EMAIL (IF HIS ADDRESS STILL WORKS).

Well updating on my experiment with Roc retinol A cream around my penis foreskin which has loads of white little pimples, its been about another 2 weeks now and Im seeing no improvement. As I said before I will keep it up untill the 3 month period has ended and just keep prayin sumthin happens. If not then I will try the special retin-a creams that are stronger than the ones you can buy off the shelf. If that dont work I will resort to the iodine treatment. If nothing happens there then co2 laszers are a possibility but alot of people have said they dont work on the skin bumps on the penis so im not sure.

You see for me it truly is imperative that I find a cure because I also have these white little bumps over my top lip and Im having to use lip pencil.

second, once again there will be no more postings of any email addys or commerical websites on this thread...you may discuss the names of products but you cannot provide the websites where the products may be purchased from....

third, discuss your topic without the use of curse words...if i edit out the curse words and your posts do not make sense, then perhaps you need to post them in such a manner that deleting the curse words does not effect the message you are trying to convey...

i realize that having ppp is a very frustrating experience, but you MUST abide by the rules of healthboards.com...

carry on....

I think alot of you actually have sebaceuous cyst on your foreskin and penis area then pearly penile papules.

-Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6 and 9) help prevent cyst from forming and happening.

-Betta-mannan a product I read in a alotek health sciene report has helped people get rid of different kinds of warts, cervical dysplaysia, and HPV strands and they have an article about pearly penile papules sufferers on a site about it. You can also email them and ask them questions, I did email them and they told me that this product will help pearly penile papule sufferers.

So search for info about the product in a search engine.

I have had PPP for as long as I can remember and all the doctors I asked used to say it was perfectly normal, just my fixation and I had to live with it.
Until i found a doctor who understood.

I've now had two sessions of burning with liquid nitrogen. This is something that's usually applied to warts, hurts a little but nothing terrible, and heals in about ten days each time. The PPP are now much reduced and I expect they will be all but gone with another couple of sessions.

keep tryin'

posted 03-02-2003 05:35 AM            

I haven't been using Neosporin or other cream and I've been basically applying a ring of iodine around the area instead of applying directly on each papule, because I can't find an instrument that is precise enough. But still they've definatly reduced in size, the only problem is that I cant seem to get completely rid of them, which is what needs to happen otherwise they will just return in quick time.

I think I'll give it another month of religious application, once or twice each day, and hopefully they'll dissapear and I'll be able to blast the roots. Takes a lot of self-discipline, especially no beating off! But if all goes well, it will definately be worth it. I recommened at least trying this treatment if you have PPP, it seems to be making lots of ppl happy!

Any who, Ive just started the treatment today, First wash then iodine, wait till it evaportes Iodine again, wait ten min, then I wash it off with ru bbing alchol...now 2 questions.

1. Is it good to rub it off with alchol, or should I leave the Iodine on and
