"Sorry, This Will Sting A Bit"

Ah, the joys of getting older. Touch of solar keratosis diagnosed and treated at the dermatologist today. Getting liquid nitrogen sprayed into the side of my face by an overly cheerful doc was a new experience for me. It felt cold for the first half a second, then felt more like I was getting something spot-welded onto my temple.

No, I always start with my GP. She referred me. So as long as I go to my GP once/year, I should be covered for various contingencies.

I once had liquid nitrogen applied to plantars on 2 toes. That was bad enough. Can't imagine it on my face.
