How Can Genital Wart Scars Near The Anus Be Treated?
Hi. I had cryotherapy done to get genital warts removed around December/January of 2013. I had the warts around my anus, and some near my vaginal area. the ones near my vaginal area all healed up with no issues. The ones by my anus on the other hand left hideous white marks/scars all over. I have a caramel skin tone so they are VERY noticeable and I am beginning to think they re not going to go away. How long would it take for them to heal, or for my pigmentation to return? & is it possible that I could have these scars for the rest of my life? Is there anything that can be done to fix, or help them? thanks.
