Post-Liquid Nitrogen Treatment

• During the treatment with liquid nitrogen, you may have felt a burning sensation – this is normal. 

• Some patients may develop mild redness and blisters, which is a part of the normal healing process. 

• Do not pick at or break the blisters. 

• Do not try to remove the blister yourself as this could increase the risk of infection.

• Apply Bacitracin ointment twice-a-day for approximately one week following the procedure (if you are not allergic). 

• It is fine to get the area wet.

• When cleansing the area, do not use harsh abrasives. 

• Be sure to blot the procedure site dry carefully and delicately.  

• Avoid taking long baths, washing the dishes (if treated areas are on the hands), and swimming one day after the treatment. 

• If you start to experience signs of an infection such as fever, swelling, tenderness or oozing from the site, please call our office.
