After PPP removal, I have some scaly marks on my penis. Which cream should I try?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 24 year old male. Seven months ago, I had PPP removal from my penis head with CO2 laser treatment. For the last three months, I observed some redness in my penis head. I think it is because of irritation due to masturbation. Since I removed PPP, my penis is a lot drier. My dermatologist prescribed Canesten and then Bepanthen and then Eucerin. Now for around two months, some scale like stretch marks are there in the penis head, and I am applying Eucerin. It causes a feeling of burning sensation. What cream should I try? Is this something serious? I have attached photo for your reference. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You had CO2 laser removal of PPP (pearly penile papule). The most common side effect of laser is erythema or redness, which goes of itself with time. In photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it seems that you have erythema and dryness only. Otherwise, it looks very much normal. Also, you applied many creams like steroid and antifungal, which further cause unnecessary effect. I would suggest you to apply only simple moisturizer for two weeks. It will settle down all unwanted effect of creams as well erythema and dryness. Do not think or enthusiastically apply any cream just wait and it will heal itself.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can apply any medicated or non-medicated moisturizer. Moisturex soft lotion is good if available. Otherwise, you can take any moisturizer and let the skin heal itself.
