I haven't done it with freeze spray, but I've physically dug one out.
I got a pack of corn pads, and stacked two of them, with the hole over
the plantar wart. After a few days or a week or so, the wart was just
sticking right up there, so I went at it. I sliced the protruding top
part off with a razor blade (yes, it hurt like a ***), and pulled
the core out of my foot with various tweezers and pliers. It gave up,
but its little buddy showed up just a few years ago (it had been close
to 40 years since I got rid of the last one). Some guy told me to cover
it with adhesive tape - that white stuff from the pharmacy - and that it
would go away. Duct tape might work there. What happened with mine (the
new one - the old one that I ripped out by the roots never came back) was
that when I checked under the tape, the main wart had diminished, but
there were about 20 incipient little baby warts all around it. So I took
the tape off and decided to try to heal it by Will Power, which seems to
be working so far. :-)

According to Louise L. Hay, plantar warts are a symptom of anger at
the foundation of your understanding - what the 'Hay', it worked
for me!

Good Luck!
