Abstract
Penile vascular macules represent an under-recognised clinical entity that can present both idiopathically and secondary to trauma. These lesions, while benign, often cause significant psychological distress to patients. Three cases of Penile vascular macules with distinct aetiologies are presented. Two cases demonstrated idiopathic onset during adolescence, presenting as solitary, asymptomatic red macules on the glans penis. The third case was acquired, developing secondary to prolonged penis ring use. The idiopathic cases showed complete resolution with pulsed dye laser treatment with sustained results at 12-month follow-up, while the acquired case declined intervention. Recognition of Penile vascular macules as a distinct clinical entity is crucial for appropriate patient counselling and management. While benign, these lesions can cause a significant psychological impact, and treatment options, including pulsed dye laser and alternative modalities, should be discussed with affected patients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
