Tenderness After Wart Removed
by stymie, May 31, 2003 12:00AM
I had tail bone pain,doctor said I had a warts and interigo. I had the warts removed (burning) and the interigo appears to be gone, but the area is still tender when I sit very long or move in some directions and still tender to touch, this was about 3 months ago. The pain is much better but not gone. Could the scar tissue be tender or damage to the nerves, or maybe something else is going on. Thanks

I doubt that wart removal left scar tissue, and besides, scar tissue doesn't hurt. Perhaps you bruised the area in some other way. If the discomfort persists, you'll have to have a dcotor take a look, but I wouldn't wprry about it--I'd wait a while longer to see if the pain doesn't just go away on its own.
Best.
