   * Be a discrete lesion
   * Be, when centered in the circular cutout of the provided template, the only common wart present
   * Not be periungual, subungual, genital or anal
   * Not be covered with hair which, in the Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the study medication treatments or the study evaluations Not be in an area that may be occluded (by clothing, footwear or within a skin fold).
4. The Target Wart has a Physician Wart Assessment (PWA) ≥2
5. If the subject is a woman of childbearing potential, she has a negative urine pregnancy test and agrees to use an approved effective method of birth control for the duration of the study
6. Subject is non-pregnant and non-lactating
7. Subject is in good general health and free of any known disease state or physical condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations

   * Anti-metabolite therapy (bleomycin, 5-fluorouracil)
6. Subject has used any of the following systemic therapies within the specified period prior to enrollment:

   * Immunomodulatory/immunosuppressant therapy (e.g., etanercept, alefacept, infliximab);
   * Glucocortico-steroids (inhaled and intra-nasal steroids are permitted);
7. Subject has used any of the following topical therapies within the specified period prior to enrollment on, or in a proximity to the Target Wart, which in the Investigator's opinion, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations:

8. Subject has had any of the following within the specified period prior to enrollment on, or in a proximity to the target lesion, which in the Investigator's opinion, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations:

   * A cutaneous malignancy;
   * A pre-malignancy (actinic keratosis)
9. Subject has a history of sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the study medications
10. Subject has any current skin disease (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, sun damage, etc.), skin condition (sunburn, open wounds) or other disease or condition (uncontrolled diabetes) which, in the Investigator's opinion, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations
