A member asked:

I'm thinking about cryotherapy for my plantar wart. does these chemicals enter the bloodstream? since i want to get pregnant, don't want to mess with chemicals?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cryotherapy involves liquid nitrogen or liquid nitrous oxygen applied to the wart for defined times. The material freezes the tissue causing it to form ice crystals and expand, tearing apart its structure. Nothing in this treatment ever enters the bloodstream.
