Verrucae Vulgaris (Warts)

Warts, also known as verrucae vulgaris, are small, rough growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often develop on the hands, feet, face, and other areas prone to skin contact. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or shared objects. While most warts are harmless, they can be stubborn and difficult to eliminate without proper treatment.
