I've had GW cryosurgery many times but the skin never properly heals. Suggestions?

I have tried a few different suggestions from my dermatologist but nothing has really worked. The skin stays red and slightly irritated and at times even a bit flaky. The latest suggestion was a Hydrocortisone 1% - Lodoquinal 1% but it does not seem to be doing the trick. If it does go mostly away, it will return a few days to a week later. Also, the warts seems to always come back to those same weakened area. Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions.

Hello Gusty,

I would recomend getting Aldara or something simular to it. It takes time to work so be patient. If you have a lot you should get them froze, once they fall off start treating that area with aldara. If that isnt working, get them cut off, then treat with aldara. your skin takes 45 days to surface, so it just takes time.

Here is where im at....

I was in the same boat as you 1 year ago. I didnt get it taken care of and it spread EVERYWHERE. I just had surgery today to remove about 35 around my shaft and HUNDREDS around and IN my anus. Dont **** up like I did and go get those taken care of YESTERDAY. I cant stress that enough. DONT WAIT!
