Question About Wart Freezing Posted: 04-04-07 22:43pm
Well, I have had about 4 skin tags frozen
off in the last year. I seem to get them
everywhere! I had a couple in my underarm,
one in my groin, and currently one on the
top of my shoulder. Unfortunately, I
noticed something that looked exactly like
one on my penis about a month ago. I went
to the doctor and he gave me the worst
possible diagnosis, "Its too small to
diagnose, it could be a skin tag or a
wart!" He then froze it off. A month later
I still have a purplish area where it was
frozen off at. I'm just wondering if this
is going to go away and how long it will
take...thanks

I just went for a similar procedure. I
was just diagnosed with genital warts, I
had a few that were pretty darn small
(1-2mm), they were hardly noticeable. The
doc froze them off, and now 2 days later
they are reddish purplish and seem to have
gotten a little bigger.
I've read on the CDC website that you can
under and over treat with the cyro stuff.
Apparently its tricky to get a bullseye.
I wonder if that's what happened to us.

yeah...I checked back with my doc. He said
sometimes is takes 6 months to a year for
the mark to go away. Sorry about your
diagnosis though. The good thing is that
its a pretty minor std, and I've been to a
lot of websites that say most genital
warts wont come back. I'm still convinced
mine was a skin tag though...mostly
because i have them everywhere.
