Cryotherapy on face- minimising scarring?

[SandalsAndSox]

Hi all, I’ve had a patch actinic keratosis on my cheek zapped with liquid nitrogen and an a bit shocked at the lumpiness/ blistering/ weeping/ crusting over as it was done without much explanation by the dermatologist.

I’m on day three and have started putting Vaseline on it.

Any tips to reduce scarring/ promote healing? Gels? Creams?

I had this on 2 very small areas and there was absolutely no scarring or scab at all.
Was it on a big area?
I have no specific advice, sorry but i always recommend Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream for anything skin related, i find it very soothing on my extremely sensitive skin

Lucky you @efeslight it’s only the size of a finger nail but it is quite a deep ‘burn’

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! I can imagine how confusing and scary it must be to have this happen without much explanation. It sounds like you're doing everything possible to promote healing, and I hope it starts to feel better soon. Here are a few more ideas that might help: -Try using a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser on the area to keep it clean and free of bacteria. -Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or ointments to keep the area moist and help prevent scarring.
