We have observed 3 cases of vulvodynia after CO2 laser (pulse or scan) treatment of condylomata acuminata (n = 1) or bowenoid papulosis (n = 2) of the female genital mucosa. Laser treatment was associated with a considerable delay in healing (3-4 months) and chronic pain. The histology of the treated areas showed a scar tissue and severe mucosal atrophy. The occurrence of painful scars following CO2 laser treatment could be related to an inadequate laser technique considering the morphology of the vagina.
