This is a serious problem PLEASE READ I desperately need someone’s advice, a doctor or nurse or someone PLEASE!!! I can’t make an appointment with my doctor until tomorrow.
I’m a female with HPV genital warts and I had eletrocautery (which burns the warts with a low-voltage electrified probe/needle). It’s a non-invasive surgery on the warts (which are mostly around the anus). I had this operation 6 days ago and I was given a topical antibacterial cream to put on the area 2 times a day.
The warts have gone away but there are “burn marks” I guess you could say, they are just flat surfaces of skin which have turned light yellow. There is no pus but my real problem is that there are 2-3 areas where the “burn mark” has CAVED IN, the actual skin has receded and made a little crater, hole-like thing. I’m really worried…it looks terribly and ugly and I’M SO SCARED. Is this an infection? Is it normal for the skin to be deforming itself like this?
I wash every day but now I have to clean the little “holes” out with a q-tip with rubbing alcohol on it. I’m so disgusted and troubled by this.
PLEASE ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED…HOW DO I KNOW IF IT’S INFECTED?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
