Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cryotherapy is a simple, relatively inexpensive therapeutic modality that is widely-used in clinical practice. It is especially appropriate for patients with an intolerance to anesthesia as well as high risk factors for developing hypertrophic scars after surgery. It can be applied to skin lesions located close to vital structures such as vessels and nerves. Potential side effects include pain, hemorrhage, edema, blisters, infection, hypopigmentation, and sensory damage. There are a numerous reports in the literature describing the side effects of cryotherapy. However, cases with severe complications have rarely been reported as yet. Herein, we report a case of serious complications of cryotherapy, a result of the course of treatment for linear porokeratosis.
