This depends on the sites affected. If the lesions are on the anogenital skin, you should see a genitourinary physician (also referred to as venereologist in some countries).
If on body sites not related to sexual transmission, a dermatologist can be consulted.

Thanks for the response! Well the wart is actually where my penis joins with my scrotum. In the past I would just visit a local clinic and they would burn them off but they would soon come back. I am hoping that by visiting a professional they might go away for good. I am just not sure who would be the specialist I need to visit.
Thanks

The location of the lesions falls under the classification of genital warts.
A genitourinary physician is synonymous with a venereologist or STD specialist. If these specialties are not listed in your medical plan, you may opt for a dermatologist or dermatovenereologist.
The presence of genital warts raises the possibilty of other STDs and treatment should be accompanied by screening for other sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, the STD specialist is the best choice for your condition.
