Your Questions About Warts Treatment Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen treatment pink spots?
I had a liquid nitrogen treatment about a week ago for some kind of flat warts, it was applied to a big part of my hands and now that some skin has peeled off I am noticing some whitish pink spots, I am black btw.
I am freaking out, will those go away or stay permanently :s?
Brian answers:
I’m very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but either that pinkish spot is just a mark left by the wart which will go away in a few days (20% chance of this happening), or you have developed nitrogen toxicosis.
Nitrogen toxicosis is a very rare and extremely annoying side effect caused by the chemical reaction of liquid nitrogen to unusually warm skin. The reason you have this is probably you warmed your hands up before applying the liquid nitrogen. What the toxicosis will do is cause swelling in the affected areas and seem to grow bigger in size. Immediatly halt the treatment of liquid nitrogen, because this will only increase the size of the internal toxicosis. Luckily, the toxicosis will shrink in size if you apply sulphuric gases onto it. If you talk to your doctor about this soon, this will go away about a week after you apply the sulphuric gasses. If not, the stain is not poisonus (despite the name), but will linger on for around 3 months to 15 months. Good luck!

Liquid Nitrogen Treatment?
I’ve had liquid nitrogen treatment with a dermatologist for the warts on my hand and now they’ve turned into pretty big blisters. Very attractive, I know : If the liquid from inside the blister runs onto another area of skin, will that spread the warts? I’m being as careful as possible but because of their location, they’re easy to bang.
Brian answers:
It will not spread the warts. This liquid is your body’s response to the cold injury from the liquid nitrogen. Most blisters end up getting broken open one way or another – usually accidentally. When this occurs, just dab it with a kleenex or paper towel and dispose of them. Do not remove the outer skin from this area because it is protecting the new growing skin beneath. And, sometimes, you may have to go back and get this done again because the first treatment didn’t make the wart completely go away which would be very common.
Susan asks…
how much does it costs for full wart treatment, i.e liquid nitrogen & medication? (in Spore)?
Brian answers:
Dermatologists charge whatever the traffic will bear. You might consider over-the counter medications such as Compound W that use a compressed gas to freeze the wart, which eventually falls off. They are widely available at a cost of about $15.00.
Mary asks…
is liquid nitrogen painful for wart removal , if so compare it to another medical treatment?
Brian answers:
I’ve had a wart removed by liquid nitrogen and by scalpel. Obviously for the scalpel one, they gave me an injection of local anesthesia (like what they give at the dentist’s office) but the local anesthesia hurt all on it’s own, of course.
My experience was that the liquid nitrogen hurt just as much as the injection of the local anesthetic but the liquid nitrogen didn’t leave anywhere near as big of a scar as the scalpel excision.
Should I have to do it again, I’ll choose liquid nitrogen. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Genital wart treatment scars?
I was diagnosed with genital warts about 6 months ago. I have had 2 treatments and have had no outbreaks ever since. My gyno used liquid nitrogen treatment on me, I am just wondering what the scars look like after treatment? Because in some spots where I was treated I have small red discoloured spots, is that normal?
Brian answers:
I think wartrol can help you with your problem, at least thats what solve mine.. You can also see this website for more information about HPV infection Remedy: http://doiop.com/hpvtreatment

How to get rid of warts?
I have a wart on my finger (knuckle) and 3 on my toes including a large one. I’ve been the the doctors for liquid nitrogen treatment and I have stuff to put on them. It didn’t work. I’ve tried duct tape but it just came off after 5 minutes unless I wrapped it round which seemed to cut off the blood supply. I’m desperate to get rid of them. =( Who’s had them and managed to? xx
Brian answers:
In time, they will go away on their own – but that could take a year or so.
Keep irritating them and it will help to get rid of them. First, use small sharp scissors to cut of the dead, doesn’t hurt part. Perhaps use a file to file down some more. Then apply the wart removal medicine, or freeze them off (you can buy the freeze stuff yourself, or just get a can of compressed air). The more you irritate them, the quicker they go away.
Duct tape is a somewhat proven method, but not 100% – use a piece of duct tape over the wart, but secure it on with a band-aid.
