1,2,3,4 -- Cryosurgery involves using cold or a freezing agent that destroys the tissue. It may take 24 hours for the effects to become obvious. Postoperatively, infection is prevented by applying a topical antibiotic and keeping the treated areas clean. Healing occurs in 2 to 3 weeks.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up!
