Does the patient's skin appear light after cryotherapy due to scar tissue formation?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have had (human papillomavirus) HPV symptoms, so I used the Condyline cutaneous solution and underwent cryotherapy to remove warts. However, my skin appears light after the treatment. I would like to know if this is scar tissue or something else.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can see that you have balanitis with a superficial fungal infection from the attached images (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). I suggest you apply Clotrimazole cream at night and wash the area with Dersil AF (Ketoconazole) body wash for 30 days (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her, and take medications with their consent). Maintain proper hygiene, and avoid scratching and rubbing of the lesions.

I think you have post-exposure balanitis with a minor fungal infection. I suggest you practice safe sex. Do you have any burning sensation after applying the Condylin (podophyllotoxin) solution? Did you use latex, lubricants, or a fragrance-based moisturizer?

The lesions will vanish in 30 days if you follow the treatment. I suggest you wash the area with Cetaphil (Macadamia nut oil and Vitamin E) cleanser daily for 30 days (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her, and take medications with their consent). Avoid unprotected intercourse, and maintain proper genital hygiene. Did you undergo a biopsy or any other serological test in the past? Please attach the serological reports for proper diagnosis.

I suggest you use a mild cleanser and avoid chemical irritants or fragrance based moisturizers on the sensitive penile skin. I think you are allergic to Condylin (podophyllotoxin) solution.
