Was get ice cubes and jammed it in there with a hand cloth to catch the melting.

I honestly didn't feel the cold and the ice cube melts fast so I would put another one.

30-60 minutes then a break for a while then do it again.

By the end of the second day it was basically gone. Definitely gone by the third day. And this is after going to urgent care and given prescription cream that I used for two weeks and if it didn't work I needed to go get it surgically removed.

Cream did nothing for two weeks. Ice cubes two days.
