Any suggestions for Circumcision scar? (photos)

joevy9Jul 4, 2016
I am a healthy 56 year old male. I was circumcised at the age of 27, and have severe stitching scars circling the base of the penis head as a result. Is laser surgery a option?

Often these need a combination of lasers and surgical repair.  Please see an expert who treats a significant amount of dark skinned individuals.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I suggest a silicone gel with growth factors and you can start vascular laser treatments like yellow laser or pulsed dye laser at this time.  Best, Dr. Emer.
