I had warts on my forehead when I was a kid, had them burned off. Also had a huge plantar's wart when I was 15, ultimately had to be cut out because it was so deep.

Interesting aside here - my older daughter had multiple plantar's warts as a young girl - she got them when she took dance classes and for part of the classes they had to dance barefoot. I took to her have them burned off for years, to no avail, they multiplied. Took her to a podiatrist, he was going to try to remove them surgically. Lo and behold, at age 21 (she is now 23), she had the 3 shots of the HPV - the warts totally disappeared, and the soles of her feet were covered in them. The podiatrist could not believe it, he said he had never seen such a total recovery. So who knows?
