Area on forehead still red from cryotherapy. Is this normal?

Hello. Persistant erythema following LN2 can occur and can take months to fade. I would recommend that you return to your dermatologist to ensure that there are no underlying concerns and that the topical steroid cream is not worsening the problem as you could be having an allergic reaction to it. Cicaplast is a great OTC cream which helps reduce redness following procedures.

The first question I would have for you is, "How red is red?"  And I know you can't answer it.  What you need is for your doctor (or another one if you want a second opinion) to examine you carefully and determine what is happening.I have found with my patients that often things look worse to them than they really -- I call it awfulizing and it's the firstborn thought of fear.Go back to your doctor and share your concern.  If you get the answer that makes you feel better, just relax and wait for the healing to occur.
