Today I have discovered the name of a condition I have called ppp which is very common so it seems. I have done my research and I am 100% certain that is what I have, now I know that the way to get rid of them is by co2, however what I want to know is, can toothpaste get rid of them? I have heard people say it does but I want it as fact that it works before I try it. The theory is that it dries them out and it seems plausible but putting toothpaste on your dick, hmm, I dunno, I feel it could make it worse and make more problems. I am in the early stages and know it gets worse within 4 years so I gotta do something now, someone please tell me toothpaste gets rid of them as fact, I don't have the money for surgery.

Not enough information since ppp can stand for several things. Since you are referring to a condition on your penis, are you talking about pearly penile papules? If so, no toothpaste won't do anything nor will they get worse within 4 years.
Pearly penile papules are nothing to worry about and are very normal and quite common. There is absolutely no chance of them becoming malignant. It is not known why they develop but they are not an STD and are totally harmless. There is absolutely no correlation to pearly penile papules and hygiene. They are more common in uncircumcised men and in those in their 20s and 30s. Don't worry about it...they are nothing! This is what they look like:

If this is not what you mean by ppp, then please right out the full term and add it to the details.
