# Warts.ai > Warts.ai explains common, plantar, flat, filiform and genital warts, molluscum contagiosum, skin tags, seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis and moles — what they are, why they happen and how they're treated — and connects you with a local dermatologist, podiatrist or skin-care provider. Educational only; not medical advice. Warts.ai is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent providers.
