Recurrence of Bowen-like papules may occur in about six months after electrocautery. The development of Bowen-like papules is closely related to human papillomavirus subtype 16, which mainly manifests as single or multiple macules with a tendency of pigmentation, and belongs to benign lesions, with a chronic course, and a few patients’ lesions may subside, but are prone to recurrent attacks. A small number of patients may be transformed into invasive carcinoma. About 21%-39% of patients have recurrence after electrocautery treatment, so patients need to monitor the recovery of the lesions on a daily basis, and should consult the doctor in time if there are any changes. During the treatment period and the recovery period, they should follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review, and pay attention to the personal hygiene and cleanliness in their lives and avoid high-risk sexual behaviors, so as to help the recovery of this disease, and to reduce the possibility of contagion and recurrence.
