Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. The answer to how long regarding chyrotherapy for nal warts, depends on the extent and severity of warts. it may resolve with one and may be utilized recurrently to get rid of it completely.
Most warts require 1 to 4 treatments, with 1 to 3 weeks between each treatment.
Cryotherapy can also be done at home using an over-the-counter product such as Compound W Freeze Off. These home cryotherapy kits use a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane rather than liquid nitrogen. This mixture is used to soak a foam applicator that is then applied to the wart. This product may be safe for warts on the hands or feet but not for genital warts. Follow all instructions carefully to avoid serious burns and permanent scarring.
Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) basically works by causing a blister to form around your wart. As your skin heals, the lesions slough off, allowing new skin to appear. You may need repeated cryotherapy treatments. The main side effects include pain and swelling.
Pain from cryotherapy can last up to 3 days. Healing is generally quick (7 to 14 days) with little or no scarring.
Within hours after treatment, a blister may form.
If the blister breaks, clean the area to prevent the spread of the wart virus. Avoid contact with the fluid, which may contain the wart virus.
The blister will dry up over the next few days, and the wart may fall off.
Sometimes cryotherapy may not suffice and a person may then need electrocautery or laser removal or even surgical excision if need be.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
