Waxy and itchy warts
I am noticing these unusual warts appear and disappear on my legs arms stomach back. First they appear to be little dots then they become itchy and waxy in appearance like one in picture. I am having these for 2 years or so. They treat on their own in 15-20 days without applying any ointments. I have consulted few dermats, they asked me to get biopsy done.
Is this serious? They itch a lot specially in night.

These recurring itchy lesions that self-resolve may represent prurigo nodularis, lichen planus, or a viral/inflammatory dermatosis. The chronic course and waxing-waning nature make a biopsy a reasonable next step.
Next Steps
If lesions are persistent or worsening, do proceed with the skin biopsy to confirm diagnosis. Meanwhile, apply a mild steroid cream (like fluticasone) to reduce itching, and keep skin moisturized.
Health Tips
Since symptoms are ongoing for years and disturbing sleep, it’s best to get a detailed evaluation through an online consultation with a dermatologist for targeted therapy and to rule out any systemic triggers.
