problems removing a freckle

problems removing a freckle

Ok. I went to the dermatologist about 2 months ago because I didn't like the appearance of this freckle that I had on the head of my penis. He told me that it was indeed just a freckle and he sprayed it with the liquid nitrogen. About a week or so later, the scab fell off and the freckle was no longer there which i was very happy about....

A few days later I was checking myself in the shower and I noticed that I had another smaller freckle on the other side of my penis head. So I thought it would be better for me (since i dont have health insurance) to just go buy the Compound W freeze off spray from the pharmacy instead of paying another 80 dollars to have the doctor spray me again. I used the compound W stuff and it was extremely painful, a lot more than the pain I experienced at the dermatologists office. Everything looked fine for the first day or so then after about the 3rd day my penis head started developing a large black and blue area around the freckle that I applied the compound W freeze off to. Most likely because the applicator area was a lot larger because of the large "q tip" size applicator.

Its been about 6 days now and I cant really notice if it is getting better or not. It is very scary looking to me I was hoping to get your opinion on what should be done about it. If it will just take a little longer to heal or what? I would feel a lot better if I could send you a picture of what it looks like. I would gladly pay you more money to just get some peace of mind. thank you very much

When you freeze skin, it develops a blood blister.  This is most likely what you're seeing.  Freezing doesn't permanently damage skin.  Just leave everything alone, and you should heal fine.  But don't freeze your penis again.

If you still have concerns in a month you should see a doctor then.

Thanks.
