Dermatologist said that whatever it was seems to be destroyed. She said the skin looked pretty eaten up from the medicine and that there may, indeed, be permanent scaring. In an effort to prevent scaring, she prescribed Desonide lotion .05%.
As for the scabing that followed my surgery, she didn't know why that happened but said it didn't seem like anything to worry about. Anyway, if anyone is still reading this thread: cross your fingers for me in hopes that I don't remain permanently maimed from the Condylox.
Alright, I'm going to a dermatologist tomorrow. I'll post the results in case anyone is interested--though I don't suppose others are too concerned about the status of my penis.
I assume that my penis was clamped or something during surgery to keep it from flopping around. I guess maybe that caused abrasions? I really have no idea, but being the paranoid individual I am, my mind is formulating all sorts of answers. I know I noticed a bruise while getting dressed following the surgery. The bruised area and skin around it has gotten sort of crusty/scabbish. I guess I really need to see a dermatologist.
Bruises don't scab unless you scratch them. Please ask your surgeon. Thanks. Dr. Rockoff
Also, one other thing. After my hernia surgery there was a large bruise on my penis that has since scabbed over. Is this normal?
From your description, I'm not at all sure that what you have is either molluscum or condyloma. I think you need to see a skin doctor for examination and perhaps testing, so you don't end up attacking harmless bumps that aren't even abnormal. As to the erosions you got from Condylox, these are superficial and temporary. You will not be scarred.
Take care.
