Nerve Pain on Penis from C02 Laser - Is There Hope I Will Heal? (photo)

I had co2 laser treatment to remove PPP from penis 2 months ago. Damage from laser was extensive. Wound healed well in 2-3 weeks. At 6 weeks, ache/burn in penis 'switched on' and been having nerve issues ever since. Comes/goes at different severity. Had 4 days free but it returned. Corona always hypersensitive to touch. Had a few 'shocks' at times. Nothing on web. Is there hope it will settle? Can I do anything? Lyrica & amitryptiline ineffective. At about 10 weeks post treatment..

CO2 Laser indications and Complications

Boynumber, Sorry you have had to deal with this pain and problem, and for photos. Can you say a little more about what exactly the type of laser was, and add a timeline to your pictures?

Hi Barbara, thanks for your reply. The first three pics are from first 3 days respectively, the 4th is day 9.. Was not able to upload more pics, but it doesn't look too bad now, maybe slightly mottled but not at a glance. hasnt changed much in appearance since about 3 weeks. (procedure on 28 July) I'm not sure what else to say regarding type of laser other than it was C02.. Thank you
