DIY SurgeryMajoringram tells us: I once had a wart on my hand and went to the doc to get it frozen. It hurt, lots. Instead of having to go back for more, I got my trusty rambo knife and cut the thing off. Three years later, and not even a scar!

Why do people have a problem with this kind of thing?As a kid I cut out a couple of verrucas on my feet and warts on my hands* and I never had a single problem. I also successfully removed a coldsore by applying PVA wood glue then ripping it off.
Nothing of this kind remotely qualifies as risky or being surgery -- heck, I sawed nearly to the bone on my thumb and the bleeding stopped well before blood loss would be problematic and the wound never had any infection.
People are far too cautious about this kind of thing.
*I suddenly feel like I did nothing but suffer from warts as a child.
