That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I'm really worried about some cuts and peeling skin on my penis. I had been using clobeta gm for a rash, but it started peeling and now the skin feels really thin. After a morning erection, the skin actually got tiny cuts. My doctor prescribed me lulimac cream, HTRZ, ATARAX Cap, and some antibiotics. The cuts aren't healing yet, and there's a light yellow-white fluid and some yellow stuff around the cuts. Do you think this is an infection? The doctor mentioned it might take 23 days to heal. Im feeling really anxious about it. Any advice on what to do while I wait?
