Warts freeze (cryotherapy) is one of the methods of removing skin lesions, including warts. This process involves applying concentrated cold to the skin lesion to destroy its tissues. The inflammatory reaction after cryotherapy is often the result of the body's defensive response to damaged tissue. Immediately after the procedure, a blister is most often formed on the skin, sometimes filled with fluid (this happens most often in places where the skin is thin). This can also manifest as redness, swelling, burning sensation or pain. This is usually a physiological reaction that aims to restore health and heal the skin. Healing is short-lived, about 2-3 weeks. To speed up the healing process, you can use over-the-counter healing preparations, e.g.: Help4skin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/95838/help4skin-gojenie-ran-zel/apteki?pvid=240564#internetowe La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/119518/la-roche-posay-cicaplast-baume-b5-balsam/apteki?pvid=277408#internetowe If you experience severe pain, significant swelling or symptoms of infection (e.g. high fever, suppuration), I encourage you to consult a doctor to prevent more serious complications. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-dermatologiem
I saw how the dermatologist froze not only my warts but also the skin around .... and 2h later a big bubble with fluid and blood popped out, and the next day it was a little bigger.
