Should I burn off a wart myself?

My doctor freezed my wart with liquid Nitrogen and it hurted badly. Wart came back again after 2 weeks and I am not going to see him again. So I burn it with heat and it hurted less than before. I made a video and share with others.

When warts were common also cigarettes butts I used to use them to burn off warts possibly with alcohol as an aenethsestic although it was not very painful.

I would not suggest burning it off, if the nitrogen did not do it that is the wrong avenue of attack imhop. There are alternative backwoods alternatives, duct tape, potatoe skin, but one I found that worked was new skin. After about 3 weeks of daily applications, the wart turned into like a little zit, turned into a whitehead, and squeezed the dead core out and a wart of 5 years was gone. I have heard nail polish works also. Somehow depriving the war of air is the mechanism.
