A member asked:

I had a seborrheic keratosis removed from my skin using liquid nitrogen. it was removed successfully, but the skin in that area is still numb to the touch. is this normal?

Time to heal: You did not say how long ago was the procedure. You should wait for the healing process to complete. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
