Well for heaven’s sake. That makes sense.
At first it hurts more, if that was possible, for a short time, but then the pain was reduced tremendously. After doing this for a few days, several times a day, the more the better, it began to disappear. Soon it was gone. Within a week, except a little redness, it was basically gone.
The caveat of the whole thing, is not to actually burn oneself. There is a fine line between having the treatment be extremely effective with fairly intense infrared heat and overdoing the heat and actually hurting oneself. If anyone were to try it, they should definitely do it with extreme caution. I imagine, though, that a lesser, safer amount of heat may be effective, even if it took longer. Also, infrared heat is well documented to reduce pain.
