Pearly penile papules (PPP) can cause significant psychological morbidity. Herein we report the successful use of a macrofractionated carbon dioxide laser at full-field ablative density settings for the treatment of PPP in a 17-year-old boy using local anesthetic alone. Our experience leads us to believe that PPP can be successfully treated in the pediatric and adolescent populations using this novel and relatively noninvasive technique.

Artificial Intelligence-Aided Diagnosis System for the Detection and Classification of Private-Part Skin Diseases: Decision Analytical Modeling Study.

Background: Private-part skin diseases (PPSDs) can cause a patient's stigma, which may hinder the early diagnosis of these diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an effective tool to improve the early diagnosis of PPSDs, especially in preventing the deterioration of skin tumors in private parts such as Paget disease. However, to our knowledge, there is currently no research on using AI to identify PPSDs due to the complex backgrounds of the lesion areas and the challenges in data collection.

Article Synopsis
- The urological examination starts with inspecting the external male genitals, with a focus on distinguishing harmless conditions like pearly penile papules from more serious infections or malignancies.
- Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a common condition that can cause significant discomfort and functional issues, which may be treated with both conservative and more invasive methods.
- The rising incidence of sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, which can also apply to detecting malignant conditions like Queyrat's erythroplasia during routine genital inspections.
