Will cryotherapy scars from wart removal on penis fade?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had cryotherapy done to remove warts on my penis and looks like it is not healing well. My skin appears to be scarring and remains a light pink color after two weeks from treatment. Will this go away? Can I apply cream to help fade the scar?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

I saw your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can see the erythematous area (red) at the base of the penis shaft. It is a good sign of post cryotherapy session. In many instances, skin grows back usually without scar formation with complete clearance of wart. Start using Physiogel AI moisturizer in the morning if it is available at your place or else any Aloe vera containing moisturizer twice daily. On top of moisturizer start using any Silicon-containing anti-scar gel once daily bedtime. It takes 10 to 14 days for normal epithelization of damaged skin.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
