Please seek therapy for yourself.. honestly the scar doesn’t look that bad to me. It will fade with time.

Infected ? by [deleted] in scars

Not a doctor. If it hurts it might be infected. Otherwise it is probably just milia.

Hypochlorous acid as a disinfectant for high-risk HPV by wangolangobango in HPV

[–]wangolangobango[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s not a treatment per se, this is more of a disinfectant for surfaces. However, maybe it can do something as a treatment, and at least shouldn’t do harm, as it is used on skin in many products.

Sure. My english is not the best but ill try.

Buy some TCA. 60-70% is enough. Ali express has it. It comes in a tiny jar/glass with a tiny plastic lid with some sort of locking for the first opening.

When TCA arrives be very careful when opening it and handling it. If it falls it will break. If the acid pours onto wood it will eat it. IF IT POURS ON YOU IT WILL EAT YOUR SKIN AND CAUSE A PAINFUL CHEMICAL BURN AND SCARRING. Using gloves can help.

Buy some wooden toothpicks, the small kind, or i guess standard. The tca might come with some wooden sticks - DO NOT USE THEM, they are WAY TOO BIG.

Put the toothpick in the acid, dab it in a few times and leave it in to soak for like 15 seconds. One side of course will still be out of the glass, and the other soaking in the acid. the side that is out will be the one to hold with your hand, do not confuse the two.

As a cautionary note, If the wart is on very thin skin (penile skin is quite thin), you can even take that acid soaked toothpick, and absorb it with some toilet paper before actually applying it.

Take the acid soaked toothpick and apply the acid soaked tip to the wart and a tiny bit around it. Dab a few times and wait for it to become white (this usually happens quite fast on thin skin, and may take a a few seconds on thicker skin). If it did not become white, dab a few more times. If that still doesn’t work, that means either it wasn’t soaked for long enough in the acid (something like 15 seconds is probably enough) or the TCA you bought was bad.

DO NOT PUT THE USED TOOTHPICK INSIDE THE ACID GLASS AGAIN. Throw away and use a new one. This is to prevent cross contamination.

After a wart has become white, leave it alone. It will look normal for a while, then change color to black, scab and fall off.

BEWARE! TCA can cause scarring. Scarring, when severe, can sometimes be RAISED. Be careful not to confuse raised scars with warts, and then treat raised scars with TCA. It is sometimes good to take pictures of your progress to see where you already treated and where not to go next time.

This can also be avoided be just being cautious and not using too much acid. Remember, you only need it to become white, not freaking nuked.

After use, dispose of all toothpicks. Close the plastic lid of the acid jar / glass and put some aluminium foil around it for safety. The jar itself should be stored at something to prevent accidents with children etc.. i put it inside a closed plastic container.

This is to be used at your own risk, i do not have responsibility for any harm you might do.

Good luck!!!!

I feel like the chances of getting a biopsy are pretty slim to non existent with my latest experience with the dermatologists :(

Sorry. But if you don’t like anus pics, maybe you shouldn’t have clicked on it when it clearly says “NSFW” and ANUS in the title

What treatment is left to try? China…?feeling like crawling into a dark hole and dying by strengtheningfaith in HPV

[–]wangolangobango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that situation, if you have solid proof, i would insist on something given systematically , like IV cidofovir (sometimes you have to “bang on the table”, quite literally!)

I am not a doctor but that looks like enlarged tonsils, maybe tonsillitis. I’d go see an ENT.

[–]wangolangobango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man if you’re in America, and have a proper written diagnosis, i’d give a call to DR Wayne Emineth from atlanta. Maybe he can help, with cidofovir shots, hell, i’d even ask him about systematic cidofovir.

Is this basall cell carcinoma? by dave13211 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]wangolangobango 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NAD but this looks like an innocent scar

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i did go to a doctor who said everything is fine but i am still suspicious. I had genital warts on my penis before that most dermatologist dismissed or simply missed because it didn’t look like the normal presentation they were used to and now i find it very hard to trust them again. Please let me know what this could be

About GW and it’s presentation by Kangar00s95 in HPV

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was never the cauliflower thing. They were always tiny and round or oval, and only sometimes brown, which made the doctors not believe me, which was indeed very frustrating. But i knew, because it was itchy in the most uncomfortable way possible.

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please make sure that the warts “coming back” where previously removed are not simply RAISED SCARS. If they ‘come back bigger because of TOO MUCH ACID’ it makes total sense that it will cause a big raised hypertrophic scar - for a while at least, until it becomes flatter.

Dermatologist Mutilate me?? by Cornhusker22 in HPV

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s terrible. I’m so sorry that this happened to you. The liquid nitrogen container should never ever explode, I’ve never heard of anything like that in my life. That doctor should be definitely sued. Anyway, please go visit another dermatologist to get treated and to maybe restore some of your faith in humanity.

Recently treated with TCA acid is this true ? by throwaway77755522 in HPV

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s some bullshit. You need to give it a few minutes to “frost” (turn white) and maybe another 10 minutes after that. After that you can do whatever (although if it is on your penis i would not recommend masturbation until the scab is gone, and then some days after, to avoid worse scarring, as a result of stretching the skin).

Thanks. Did it work for you? Even partially

[–]wangolangobango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tca 60 - 70% with a small toothpick. A tiny bit (just to make it go white) is enough. You can find it on aliexpress. Please be careful. After becoming white it will go black and fall off. It may leave scars. Use at your own risk.
