Question

I found something resembling red dots at the base of the penis, encircling it. Is this a symptom of a disease?

Answer

The described condition is likely penis pearl-like papules, commonly found at the edge of the male penis without any inflammatory reaction or discomfort. This is a common phenomenon known as pearl rash, and the acetic acid white test results are negative, meaning the penis does not turn white after applying 5% acetic acid solution. This condition usually appears in males after puberty and is completely normal, requiring no treatment. The above suggestions are for the question “I found something resembling red dots at the base of the penis, encircling it. Is this a symptom of a disease?” and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health.
