I foolishly tried to burn off what i thought was a small genital wart & now have a nasty scar on the top of my penis. It's almost 3 weeks & it's not healing like i had hoped. The scar has the same bump that was there to begin with, too. I'm currently using vitamen e oil & a "petroleum jelly" of all types of moisturizing oils but they don't seem to be working. I'm starting with mederma cream & scar sheets tomorrow, but I am anxious and frustrated that I did this to myself and i hope that there's a solution, because it looks ugly. Any feedback is much appreciated.
