Can CARBON DIOXIDE ABLATION treat PENILE PAPULE?

Resolved Question:

Hi there, my name is chris passa im 28 yrs old. I have a case of penile papule. I believe I have a worse case than most others that have it. I am wondering if there is a way of getting rid of it? I have found a website where it talks about getting rid of penile papule by the use of carbon dioxide ablation which is an easy treatment for PPP and the patient doesn't have to face any difficulty while he is being treated.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about making this happen? Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Can you kindly send a picture of the papule? Without seeing an image it is very difficult to come to a conclusion. You can either upload it here or send it to [email protected].
Once you do, I will get back to you.
Regards.


Patient replied :

Hi there, I couldnt seem to work out how to add the photos thru the website so I sent an email with some photos to that address u provided me with but i have yet to get a responce. Any ideas... thanks


Dear sir
I have reviewed the pics. The papules are normal variant and are found in a large number of men. No intervention is needed and no laser should be done.

Thanks

Patient replied :

ok no worries,
But is this procedure possible?
Because even though you say their normal, I am still uncumfortable with it all. Am i able to proceed with some sort of laser procedure to get rid of them?
Thanks


Dear sir
You can certainly undergo the laser procedure and it shall be safe.

Take care
Sincerely

Patient replied :

hi there,
Ok no worries, so how do we go about getting this arranged? Also what are the costs? Is it covered by health insurance? What else do i need to know about this?
thanks :)


Dear sir
You need to see a dermatologist in your area. He or she do the laser. Whether you are converted by insurance or not shall depend on your policy. You need to contact dermatologist in your area for further information.
Thanks
