液态氮冷冻治疗
Liquid nitrogen is used for wart removal and verruca treatment. It is a safe and reliable way to freeze off skin tags, warts and verrucas. Thankfully, it’s generally easy to get rid of your warts and verrucas.
A safe verruca and wart treatment
If you have warts, verrucas or other non-cancerous skin lesions, our doctors might recommend liquid nitrogen therapy. Quite simply, this is an excellent way to get rid of warts and verrucas or lesions. Specifically, our GPs use this as a treatment that freezes the wart, causing it to blister and then heal.
Liquid nitrogen is kept at a very low temperature. As a result, the liquid nitrogen destroys the wart tissue on your skin lesion by freezing it.
What can you expect from liquid nitrogen therapy?
- Firstly, the liquid nitrogen is applied to your skin using a spray gun, or sometimes a cotton bud, for around 5 to 10 seconds. This will start to freeze off the wart.
- Next, you may fell a slight sting when it is applied which could last for a short time after your treatment
- Expect the lesion to turn white. Also, it may blister within a few hours
- Blistering will usually form a scab, which will then heal naturally
- Finally, keep in mind that more than one wart or verruca treatment session is usually needed to completely get rid of your lesion.
- Your GP will advise you to book a follow up appointment if required
What types of skin lesions can be treated with liquid nitrogen?
- Viral warts
- Actinic keratosis
- Molluscum contagiosum in adults
- Some skin tags
Unfortunately, liquid nitrogen is not suitable for mole removal. However, if you are concerned about your moles or have noticed any changes, talk to us about a mole check.
Why do I need a mole check?
Naturally, ruling out any melanomas is our main concern and reason for doing a mole check. Of course, sometimes people want a mole removed for cosmetic reasons too.
Firstly, we will carefully check your mole as our GPs are trained in dermoscopy. Simply, this means we check the lesion with a Dermascope magnifying glass, which allows us to look for anything unusual. Furthermore, if we had any concerns we would be able to refer you to an Auckland Dermatologist.
Next, our clinic staff will be able to make a recommendation for the best way to get rid of warts, verrucas or lesions with GP treatments.
