After Genital Warts, Question to Naveed777

I had small warts below glands of penis. After repeated cryotheraphy got rid of the warts.
Last cryotheraphy was done 2 months back. The area which had warts has become very dry and its very tender. The foreskin sticks to glands due to which its irritating and bit painful and has burning sensation if the foreskin is pulled..
How much time should it take to get the area completely as normal ? Is there any lubricant that I can
apply in that area..

Cryotherapy (freezing off the wart with liquid nitrogen) is in which tissue is frozen with super-cold liquid or gas (liquid nitrogen) via a cryoprobe. After treatment, the outer layer of tissue forms a blister and eventually breaks off from the deeper layers, "taking most of the affected tissue with it". Cryotherapy may cause some discomfort... By this time, passing two months, the area should have completely heald at its own forming a new tissue and skin... Usually, the practitioner prescribes some cream or moisturizer to apply on the treated area so that the skin doesn't get dry... you may need to apply petrolium jelly or any other moisturizer enriched with vitamin C or E... wash the area, dry it, apply petrolium jelly vaseline, keep rubbing it for a minute and leave it there for the night... you may keep the area moisturized with vaseline the whole day too... try searching for PHYSIOGEL by Stiefel laboratories with your pharmacist... this really is a good product that helps sooth the skin and building new cells...  If the condition persists even after a week of application, you should see a dermatologist...
