Re: Dry ice for sun freckles

The point is -50 is a lot different than -320. If you sit out on your front porch at -20 for a few hours that might work too.

Minus -320 will freeze skin and so will -50, how much more killing (freezing) of the skin do you need for it to work. I've done both over the years, once the skin freezes solid its dead.

-20 would work, any temp that will freeze the skin will destroy it. See how long you last sitting on the porch naked at -20, won't be long before things start to freeze and fall off.

Re: Dry ice for sun freckles

The dry ice worked fine, the little skin patches have flaked off now and it looks great....My physical exam was last week and I told my Dr. about my dry ice method and he mentioned those freeze-off sprays are available but he likes the dry ice himself. With the point of the dry ice shard you can apply it very carefully in the exact spot, where the sprays could cover a larger area...maybe better for warts?....dry ice at Publix if about $5.00, easy to use, no real problem....I guess all you might do wrong would be to hold it on there too long and burn your skin a bit deeper than intended, but with just a little care that shouldn't happen....
