I’m writing this because I suffered for years with warts on my fingers next to my nail bed that would never go away. I used to take razor blades and try to get as close as I could to the nerve endings in the warts.

The only thing that worked was “Mr Flanders Magic Wart Cream” out of Oregon. I’d like to thank the random lady who saw duct tape on my hands, and gave me the suggestion to try it out. If you suffer from warts, try getting the cream it’s worth it.



This product appears to be no longer available for sale... based on the patent at https://patents.google.com/patent/US20180098989A1/en , the active ingredient was Fluorouracil, which turns out to be a pretty potent chemotherapy drug for skin cancer patients. https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-16269/fluorouracil-topica... https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/drug...

So that's probably why it is no longer being sold over-the-counter as a magic wart cream. It is used for warts and generic Fluorouracil cream can still be prescribed by a doctor, but it's probably a good idea to pay attention to the cautions/warnings.
