Hard white skin after TCA peel on wart!

I used a wart-pen (TCA) to remove a wart on my foreskin and the warts was removed within 3 months after several sessions. But now the skin where the wart was is white and hard, its been over 1 month and it hasnt changed its appearence.

I first thought it was because the wart wasnt completley removed so I treated it it again.
But i only get the same result.
First all the hard white falls and there is a small crater but when it heals it becomes hard and white, not normal skin.

Need help fixing this.

When you use this method of wart removal, a white spot after is common. It might be permanent, or it might fade after time.

Do not use any more of this. If you get another wart, see your doctor. They have treatments that will not leave these marks.

If you are concerned about the mark, a dermatologist might be able to help, but I don't want to get your hopes up.

Hi.

Ok Thanks.

Hmm, really.
I cant treat it with something?
I might just cut it of then..
If you attempt to cut it off yourself, you will almost certainly leave a permanent scar larger than the white patch you have now.
I understand that.
But what should I do then?
Im so pissed because I read alot about TCA beeing safe for genital warts
I never saw any information about it leasing a permanent white hard spot of skin
You should see a dermatologist.
