How does cryotherapy remove keloids?

Cryotherapy is not typically used to remove keloids. It is most commonly used to remove warts, skin tags, and other benign skin growths. Keloids are a type of scar that forms when the body produces too much collagen in response to an injury. They are often raised and red, and can be painful and itchy. Cryotherapy may be used to reduce the size of keloids, but it is not effective at removing them completely.
