Question 1

i have atrophic scars on the glans penis, like acne boxcar scars, shallow/flat.  can i get them laser resurfaced like treatment for papules? options?

Accepted Answer

Scars of the glans: Hello, 
from your question i did not get the sense that you had pain from the scars. 
I recommend against any further ablative treatments to the skin of the penis. This is a very sensitive part of your body and any ablative therapies such as laser resurfacing or more caustic treatments could reduce sensibility to this organ. Good luck.

Question 3

how do i get rid of ace scars & cuts?

Accepted Answer

Heal them fast: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation (red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing so anti-inflammatories (motrin/advil) are bad. Cover the area with an occlusive dressing changed every other day and protected from trauma. Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.
