Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, are a common skin condition caused by the human papillomavirus. Although the term 'verrucas' is commonly used in the UK, it is not well-known in other countries. In the United States, these warts are more frequently referred to as plantar warts. They can also be called foot warts, seed warts, or mosaic warts, depending on their appearance and size. While many people try to treat verrucas at home with over-the-counter remedies, it's always best to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Effective treatment options include cryotherapy, laser therapy, and medication.
