When I touch some spots on my head under my hair I can feel what are probably warts. I'm not sure if they are but I'm guessing it's what they are. There seems to be two or three i can feel. I'm wondering if I should goto a dermatologist to get these removed or checked out?
Is it possible they will spread from the top of my head under my hair to anywhere else like my face(yuck). Or is it nothing to worry about and they will stay hidden on the top of my head covered by hair.
I'd shoot myself if i got one of those nasty sickening things on my face or visible anywhere. :(

By all means see your dermatologist. Make sure they are just warts. It could be moles or a number of different things. It could just be zits from a hair product, but get it checked out for your own health safety.

Hm...not a place warts usually pop up, but not abnormal.
I'd say if they're hurting or if they get significantly bigger in the next few months, then see a dermatologist. If they are warts, they're really simple to remove (and painless!), and you don't have to worry about cutting your hair.
However, if they're small enough not to be seen, aren't hurting you, and aren't getting bigger, I'd say let them be. Warts are usually sporatic and don't spread, so you don't have to worry about them getting to your face.
But if they are bothering you, go ahead and get them removed. It won't hurt, and might give you some peace of mind, but if you're not bothered by them, let 'em be.

Also check out Molluscum, I had some on my head, and some spread to my face. I quickly got them frozen off before they spread too much. Usually they go away on their own, but not always.
