verrucae

Warts and verrucas are caused by a virus. They can be spread to other people from contaminated surfaces or through close skin contact. You're more likely to spread a wart or verruca if your skin is wet or damaged.

It can take months for a wart or verruca to appear after contact with the virus.

A verruca is a wart on the sole of your foot which can be painful when you’re standing or walking. Verrucas (verrucae) are also known as plantar warts.
