Wart: The pain experienced with removing a wart is subjective. Excision over a weight bearing part of the foot is more uncomfortable

Grin and bear it...: Warts are generally not that deep. Callus, on the other hand, can be deep. Either way, a topical freeze usually isn't effective enough to allow a lesion of any real depth to be excised. Local anesthesia is the way to go.
