Cryosurgery in Dermatology

Cryosurgery in dermatology is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold to treat various skin conditions, such as warts, skin tags, and certain types of skin cancer. A doctor applies liquid nitrogen to the targeted area, freezing and destroying abnormal skin cells. This procedure is typically quick, often done in a clinic, and usually requires little to no recovery time. Patients may experience some discomfort and a temporary change in skin color, but the overall benefits include a minimally invasive approach to removing unwanted or potentially harmful skin lesions.
