Applied Liquid Nitrogen On Warts On Hands Which Is Swollen And Painful. Any Solution?

I had three warts on my hands have liquid nitrogen applied 3 days ago. One has a blood blister, and I am having great pain, hand swollen, etc. I have a low immune system so am afraid to PO, because I don't want an infection. Any suggestions....go ahead and pop, call Dr., or give it a few more days of agony?

HI.
It is unlikely to have such a picture after nitrogen therapy.
This suggests that you have an infection.
You need to consult a Doctor to get prescription based antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. You need to keep the hand above the heart level to reduce edema.
DO NOT pop.
