Question 1

got molluscum on male penis. removed w/ cryosurgery and bumps re-appear. applied mollenol and skin become reddish, swollen & itchy. can use sudocrem?

Accepted Answer

Relax: If you do nothing they will resolve without a trace. Using mollenol or zinc oxide is not likely to make any difference except that you will have felt like you did SOMETHING. If you are in a hurry go back to the Dr. Very light cryo is effective for molluscum but often requires several sessions. Deeper cryo to produce more violent reactions works in fewer treatments but may leave permanent white spo

Question 2

is cryotherapy a good way of removing flat skin moles assuming they are perfectly healthy ?

Accepted Answer

No: First you must define the spots. "Moles" is not a medical term and is too vague. Are they keratoses? Lentigo? Nevi? What does "perfectly healthy" mean? Benign? Best approach will be best left to a dermatologist. Note that cryo will cause blisters and is likely to result in permanent white spots.

Question 3

skin different tone to rest of skin after cryotherapy. will this skin eventually blend in to rest of skin and how long would this take? is there any way to speed up process if possible?

Accepted Answer

: It's not unusual for cryo'd skin to be darker or lighter after treatment.  It will go back to normal, but will take some time.  If it is darker than normal, several lightening creams are available over-the-counter if you want to speed up the process.  If it is lighter than normal, there is not much you can do to speed it up.
