Possibly : Ln2 treatment can cause discoloration at threated sites , either darkening or lightening. If discoloration does occur , in many cases that can resolve spontaneously in time.

It could: Very cold temperatures can kill the cells that give our skin color, so liquid nitrogen (ln) can sometimes leave white spots, particlularly on darker skin types. In dark skin (or light), i often remove genital warts with an electric needle (after numbing). This technique usually heals well, and faster, in my experience.
