• Small, hard, flat or raised skin lesion or lump
• Abnormally dark or light skin surrounding the lesion
• Numerous small, smooth, flat (pinhead sized) lesions on forehead, cheeks, arms, or legs
• Rough, round, or oval lesions on soles of feet -- flat to slightly raised -- painful to pressure
• Rough growths around or under fingernails or toenails

Warts can generally be diagnosed simply by their location and appearance. Your doctor may want to cut into a wart (called a biopsy) to confirm that it is not a corn, callus, or other similar-appearing growth.
