Freezing Warts Step-by-Step
Freezing warts can be done in one of two ways. Traditionally, a trip to your dermatologist or family doctor would be necessary. Recently, freezing at home has become a possibility through the development of home wart freezing kits.
Liquid nitrogen is the most common freezing agent used by physicians. After the wart and surrounding area has been thoroughly cleansed, your doctor will apply the liquid nitrogen though a cryoprobe (tube-like device), spray it on, or simply dab it on with a cotton swab. The agent will freeze the wart and the blood vessels that feed it. A blister will form and, in the weeks following the surgery, redden, darken and then fall off. Several sessions may be necessary but each is relatively painless. Cost can be as little as $50 per session but can quickly add up, especially in the case of plantar warts which can require numerous treatments. The following steps will help you to get the most out of cryosurgery and give you the best odds at a successful wart removal.
Step 1: Research physicians in your area. Cryosurgery is a common, safe treatment. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks. Minimize these risks by working with a physician who has significant experience in this area. In some cases local anesthetic will need to be applied and this increases the risk. You will want to be sure your doctor (and his staff) have been successfully performing cryosurgery for quite some time.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment. Most physicians will require a preliminary appointment to discuss treatment options. Whatever your doctor's policies are, be sure you have enough time to thoroughly discuss your medical history and any current medications you are taking. Listen carefully to any preparation instructions he may have for you.
Step 3: Follow preparation instructions. Many physicians will ask you to apply salicylic acid daily to your wart for 2 weeks prior to surgery. This can be done through the use of an adhesive pad or in gel form. Either item can be purchased at a pharmacy. Clean the area completely and then apply the acid. This will greatly increase the effectiveness of the surgery.
Step 4: Cryosurgery. At your appointment the wart will be washed thoroughly and the freezing agent will be applied. Care instructions will be given.
Step 5: Wait. This is an important step. Your wart will go through several processes including blistering, reddening, darkening and, eventually, falling off. Picking or scraping at the wart during this time can cause an infection and/or allow the wart to return.
Home wart kits are a simple, at home option. They can be purchased at your local pharmacy for somewhere between $20 and $30 and have relatively straight-forward instructions. Follow them carefully and enjoy the privacy of wart removal in your home. Do keep in mind that these kits do not contain liquid nitrogen. Rather they commonly utilize dimethyl ether and propane. While they can be effective, these freezing agents cannot reach the same low temperatures that liquid nitrogen can and are therefore less effective.

What would cause a propane heater line to freeze up?
I have a heater in my garage and the line keeps freezing up.
If it is just the line freezing up it is because you have liquid entering the line. Either the cylinder is a liquid withdrawal type instead of the proper vapour withdrawal or the cylinder is lying on it's side and liquid is running into the line. This is potentially a very dangerous situation!!! When the liquid gets to the burner and changes state to a vapour, it will expand 277 times! That is way more fuel than the heater is designed for.
The more likely scenario is that the cylinder, the regulator, and the line are ALL frosting up. This is because of one of two reasons. The cylinder may be almost empty, or the cylinder is too small in the first place.
A propane cylinder is not just a storage device. It is also a vapourizer. It absorbs heat from the air around it to make the liquid propane boil and produce vapour. The larger the btu load of the connected appliance(s), the larger that container must be. We don't hook up a 20lb grill tank to a furnace, water heater, stove and a fireplace because it will simply freeze up trying to produce that much vapour. And the colder the outside air temperature is, the less vapour a given cylinder can produce. For all of those appliances we would use at leat a 500 gallon tank. On a BIG house with two furnaces and two water heaters we would use a 1000 gallon tank.
When the cylinder is getting low, even if it is sized correctly, it has less mass of liquid to absorb heat from the air around it so it cannot effectively produce vapour. It will begin to show a frost line on the sides and the burner flame will get low.
Most likely, you either have a nearly empty cylinder or you are running too big a burner on the size of cylinder you have. If you tell me what size cylinder you have and the btu rating off of the appliance rating plate that would help to answer this question more accurately.
Edit: An incorrect regulator by itself will not cause this. If it is drawing liquid, it is because of the type of cylinder service valve, not the regulator. Liquid cylinders have a diptube that runs down to the bottom of the tank to draw liquid. Vapour cylinders do not. They draw vapour off the top. What is happening is the liquid fuel is getting to the regulator and then boiling rapidly as it moves through the regulator orifice and experiencing a pressure drop.
There is one other thing that could cause this...Someone has overfilled the storage tank or cylinder. If it is jammed full of liquid with no vapour space left at all, then the regulator will have liquid passing through it. This is also a dangerous situation from the storage perspective. Have you recently had a fillup?
