These are angiofibromas that enlarge under hormonal stimulation. The pearly corona of the glans is not related to a disease, an infection or poor hygiene. It is a completely benign and harmless condition.<br>Although the exact cause of this condition is not fully understood, several factors contribute to its development.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Normal anatomical variation : pearly penile papules are considered a natural variation of male anatomy.
