Abstract

This article summarizes the use of liquid nitrogen as a cryotherapeutic modality in the treatment of various bening skin lesions. Deep cryosurgery also has been effectively instituted for the treatment of malignant cutaneous lesions, but this article will not describe the latter in detail. Liquid nitrogen is equally as effective as other conventional modalities. Superiority of this treatment is attributed to the simplicity of its application and lack of disfigurement and scarring.
