Are these flat warts?

I get these small, flat, skin-colored lesions on my hands and feet. On my hands they can appear both on the top and my palm, but on my feet, just the tops of them. They are not bites, because I had two on my ankle when I was younger for years, until I got them frozen off. My derm back then said they were warts, but it's just weird to me since they are so small. They do respond well to cryotherapy, but I just wanted to get some more opinions. Do these look like flat warts? They're very hard to see. TIA!

    They do look like flat warts.   Mainly appear in puberty and adolescents and then just disappear as you get older. You could try just leaving them alone....they dont look obvious....as you say,they are very hard to see,and if you are paying for cryotherapy you will be saving your money.

    Someone recently suggested and had much success by rubbing vitamin A on these warts and they disappear. I tried to get hold of Vutamin A capsules in UK but could not find any on it's own anywhere. If anyone knows different I'd be pleased to find out where to get it.
