title: [How I treat ... some skin conditions by cooling].
abstract: Cold application to the skin is commonly used in dermatology. The modalities of application are diversified and condition the temperature reached in the skin and the therapeutic result. Hense, the term cryotherapy without further precision remains little informative. The sensibility to cold of the diverse types of cutaneous cells is heterogeneous, as well as that of healthy and neoplastic tissues.
