The most widespread method of treatment of benign skin neoplasms in children is surgical, but along with it other methods (sclerosing, electrocoagulation, cryogenic, radiation, hormonal, laser) are successfully developed. Among them, the cryogenic method is notable for its simplicity, availability, cost-effectiveness, safety, and high efficiency, and its possibilities have increased significantly due to the use of liquid nitrogen (-196 C) as a cooling agent and the creation of special devices.
