I actually did this once at a science summer camp thing, where they demonstrated the whole leidenfrost effect by letting us have liquid nitrogen run off our hands. They tell you not to let it settle, but I kinda' let a little bead sit and it really does sting when it starts to bite in.
I never let it get as bad as he does in this vid though. I couldn't actually see any of the freezing, it just pinched.
Liquid Nitrogen is also used to remove warts on your skin.

A very weird feeling too because the wart just kinda falls off

I had a pea sized skin tag thing that was full of blood on my chest as a kid. They took liquid nitrogen on a q-tip, swabbed it, and about 10 seconds later it just fell off. Shit blew my mind.

I had warts on my hand and they used liquid nitrogen to treat them, it felt like an intense burning sensation, but cold at the same time, it was weird as fuck, and yeah my warts just fell off too.

I tried that on the seed wart on my palm, and it did zero good.
I just ended up picking at it for ~7 or so years until one day it just... [I]died[/I] and fell off. I don't even know when it happened. I woke up one day and it was gone.

Every cell in your body regenerates after about 7 years, so maybe damaged cells were suddenly pushed off and exchanged with new ones?

We use it as a spray at work to remove genital warts.

When I was like 8 I got molluscum contagiosum and they used a q-tip dipped in liquid nitrogen to freeze them off. It really wasn't very painful, but afterward took around a week to heal and left a few scars. It definitely has great medical purposes for removing blemishes.

I wonder what kind of work you have if you deal with genital warts regularly...

I was once armless and after seven years my body just ejected the stump and regrew new arms

How long can you survive in a vat of liquid nitrogen?
