Is it okay to burn off a wart?

I have this gross wart on my finger, and I was wondering if I could just take a curling iron to it and burn it off? I'd form a blister... I've tried everything else and it's getting really annoying. Will burning it work??

Update:

I've already tried the stupid freezing stuff... It doesn't work :P

    I used to have warts all over my hands. One day I decided to use my straightener to burn them a bit and it didnt even hurt that bad. If the freezing and stuff wont work it is because the wart is just too hard and must be burnt to kill it. A curling iron will work even better than a straightener because you have a curved surface so you can really pinpoint the area you want to get at. I know that I really helped me and my warts didnt come back at all so I dont see why it wouldnt work for you.

    There is an over the counter remedy make just for freezing warts off. Burning it could hurt you worse than how ugly the wart looks.

    You can buy products at your local pharmacy to help remove a wart. It doesn't happen overnight, but they do work. Burning it off with a curling iron could cause more problems that the one you have now. Don't do it.

    I think you need to go back to your doctor. The ones I had burned off did not blow up and they did not have any puss come out.
