I don't know how warts were treated in the Middle Ages, but I think "burning them off" was one of them.

Well, some of the cures for warts were quite bizarre:
 

Wart-charmers had many strange cures, some are still tried today. One that is still used (?) is to take a small piece of meat, rub the wart with it and then bury the meat. As the meat decays, the wart will slowly disappear. Another wart-charm:- Prick the wart with a pin, and stick the pin in an ash tree, reciting the rhyme, “Ashen tree, ashen tree, Pray buy these warts from me”. The warts will be transferred to the tree.
