warts on the glans

[prll]

Hi.

I had warts on my penis which the doctor treated with electrocautery.

Now I have a small one at the end of the glans towards the shaft .. Which would be the best way to treat those. can someone please give me some ideas .. will electrocautery leave a scar on the glans as well.

thanks

Thank you for your post. I apoologize for my late reply.

As it seems they are just warts, the black discoloration is just dispigmentation.

I think I am gonna go for a electro cautery once more, Doctor if I may ask you a question.

There are two very small warts on the glans. Will electro cautery leave a huge scar / crater over there ? should I choose tropical treatment of those.

Thank you

Hello,
For genital warts, several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts. Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this and get these warts evaluated. Then treatment best suiting can be decided.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
