Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call for an appointment with your doctor if:

There are signs of infection (red streaking, pus, discharge, or fever) or bleeding. Warts can bleed a little, but if bleeding is significant or not easily stopped by light pressure, see a doctor.
Your warts do not respond to self care and you want it removed.
You have pain associated with the wart.
You have anal or genital warts.
You have diabetes or a weakened immune system (for example, HIV) and have developed warts.
There is any change in the color or appearance of the wart.
