Specific indications for cryosurgery of the nail unit. Myxoid cysts and periungual verrucae.
Myxoid cysts and periungual warts are easily diagnosable yet management can be difficult and disappointing. A large series of myxoid cysts of the fingers were treated with cryosurgery using the open-spray and cryoprobe techniques. Another group of patients with periungual warts were treated with the dip-stick technique. The cure rates were high and the cosmetic results were excellent.
