Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Is there any possibility for genital warts, penile papules, or skin tags? Please check. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Apply Fucidin (Fusidic acid) cream twice daily for ten days on the popped or pricked lesion. Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions. Avoid popping or pricking. Clean genital area with Cetaphil cleanser or No soap cleanser or Episoft cleanser daily. Maintain proper genital hygiene. These are benign, harmless pearly penile papules, which occur in 50 percent of male patients. No treatment is needed. If you desire therapy, surgical excision, CO2 laser ablation, electrofulguration or cautery can be tried. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
