Depending upon the level of application, you may not see any scabbing. The scabs will develop after blistering.

Usually scabs from liquid nitrogen show up very shortly after treatment - within 1-2 days. You might just notice a darkening of the spots, though, which will still lead to successful lesion destruction. I would give the treatment 2-4 weeks to see if the spots lighten up, and if they don't seem any different go back and see your provider. If the provider did not freeze enough tissue they can be a little more aggressive the second time around. Best of luck!
