Suggest Treatment For Dark Spots On The Prepuce Post A Mole Removal Procedure

Posted on Thu, 29 Sep 2016

Question: Hi, 2 and a half months ago I had 5 plain small moles removed with liquid nitrogen from the prepuce. Now I have much bigger dark spots (I assume is buried skin because of the cryotherapy). Will these dark spots disappear by their own?. I am not worried about health issues it is just an aesthetic issue.

hello. thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern

You seem to have developed post inflammatory pigmentary changes. This would gradually reduce with time. You may use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g fluticasone proponate 0.05% twice daily to hasten resolution
