📋Overview
Verruca, often referred to in modern clinical settings as a cutaneous wart, develops when the human papillomavirus infects the outer layer of the skin. These growths are typically benign and can appear on various parts of the body.
These lesions occur when the virus enters the epidermis, leading to the rapid growth of cells on the skin's surface. While the term is frequently associated with warts on the soles of the feet, it characterizes a variety of similar viral infections of the skin.
