IntroductionSo far there have been no papers analyzing the incidence of ‘non-pathological’ lesions or normal variants on the male external genitalia. Subsequently, the number of patients consulted due to the presence of such lesions remains unknown. The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of normal variants in patients who were consulted due to lesions on the skin or mucosa of the male external genitalia.Material and methodsThe study group consisted of 400 males, aged 3-91, who were consulted due to lesions on the genitalia in the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology of the Medical University of Gdańsk.ResultsThe most common lesions were hyperpigmentation of the median raphe of the penis and scrotum (85.6%), pearly penile papules (24%), and prominent veins (24%). Sebaceous hyperplasia or ectopic sebaceous glands were revealed in 9% of patients, respectively. Melanocytic nevi were diagnosed with similar frequency (9.5%), whereas skin tags more rarely (7%). Other ‘non-pathological’ lesions were diagnosed in a considerably lower number of patients. In 32 patients (8% of all patients) the reason of admission to the Clinic was just the presence of some ‘non-pathological’ lesions. Pearly penile papules were found to be the most common condition, occurring in 78.1% patients.ConclusionsNormal variants represent a substantial percentage of generally asymptomatic lesions and the only indication for their removal is cosmetic discomfort or venerophobia.

“…Fraktionierte Laser, die im nahen Infrarotbereich emittieren, werden mit den Wellenlängen 1.320 nm, 1.410 nm, 1.440 nm als Neodym:Yttrium-Aluminium-Granat-Laser (Nd:YAG-Laser), bei 1.450 nm als Diodenlaser und bei 1.535 nm, 1.540 nm und 1.550 nm als Ytterbium:Erbium-Phosphate-Glass-Laser (auch Er:Glass-Laser) verwendet [8]. Mit diesen Systemen kann bei richtiger Parameterwahl tatsächlich genau der Bereich der Dermis erreicht werden, der auch den typischen Sonnenschaden umfasst.…”

These 4 case reports illustrate the advantages of using PDL when treating PPP. In each patient, the appearance of the papules was either completely diminished or significantly reduced after the procedure. This result was achieved with only minimal discomfort felt by the patients. The use of PDL offers dermatologists a new treatment modality for PPPs that is safe, easily performed, and produces excellent aesthetic results.
