Warts respond quite well to suggestion.

When I was in college and had a couple burned off, my about-to-retire older physician told me "the way we used to get rid of warts in the old days":

They would blindfold the person, then stick a needle into the wart and at the same time stick a wooden tongue depressor into a spinning fan. He said they would then take the blindfold off and tell the person the wart would shrink by itself and disappear within a week or so. (He told me it had never failed)!
