ABSTRACT
An analysis is made of the results obtained with the application of cryotherapy to 128 lesions 86 common warts and 42 flat papillomas, of the 203 diagnosed in the Rochapea Health Centre in the period between October 1996 and June 30th 1997. 55.28% corresponded to warts located on the upper extremities, 34.78% were located on the head and neck, 8.07% on the lower extremities and 1.24% on the thorax. The percentage of flat papillomas was 20.68%. 2.96 sessions were needed to cure each lesion, with an average length of treatment of 42 days. No cases of postcryotherapy infection were registered and there was only one retarded complication, which was the appearance of a keloid scar. We conclude from the present study that cryotherapy is a good treatment for common warts and flat papillomas.
