Warts are skin growths that usually are harmless and can be treated without a doctor’s care.

But sometimes you should see a doctor about a wart. The American Academy of Dermatology explains these warning signs that an office visit is needed:

• Suspecting that the growth may not actually be a wart.
• Having a wart on the genitals or face.
• Developing a lot of warts, or warts that bleed, burn, itch or cause pain.
• Having a weakened immune system or being diabetic. Diabetics should never try to remove warts on the feet.
