Most can be distinguished by appearance. However, there are always exceptions. Warts have a very typical appearance (Google image search) with a rough surface and often little black dots inside (thrombosed or clotted capillaries). If it falls off, it was probably a wart, but since warts can last years, that's not a good rule of thumb. If in doubt, show your doctor. The safest answer if he/she isn't sure is to do a biopsy!
