Dr. Scholl's "Freeze Away" is a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane which is stored under pressure. It is highly flammable. When the liquid is released from pressure, it boils, removing heat and dropping the temperature of the remaining liquid to -42° C (-43°F). This mixture is typically the same as doctors use, but with different packaging.

Liquid nitrogen is often used by doctors, but storage requires a large Dewar flask for storage. The dimethyl ether / propane mixture can be stored at room temperature and is much more convenient than liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen boils away constantly requiring constant refilling. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196°C (-320°F) which is substantially colder.

How do I get rid of a wart fast?

The company Dr. Scholl's has made a product called Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away. It is said to be just as strong as the freeze method medicine doctors use in an office, but you can buy it at many stores such as Wal-Mart, Costco, or Walgreen's and apply it yourself in the comfort of your own home. Freezing a wart is the quickest way to remove a wart, cutting them away does not always insure that the core of the wart has been removed or dispensed of and can cause it to return and sometimes larger then before.
