Verrucae is the medical term for?

The term "verrucae" refers specifically to warts, which are benign growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can occur anywhere on the body and are typically characterized by their rough texture and appearance. They can be common in both children and adults and often resolve on their own over time but can also be treated if they cause discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Other options, such as shingles, ringworm, and hives, refer to different skin conditions caused by viruses, fungi, and allergic reactions, respectively. Each of these conditions has distinct characteristics and underlying causes that set them apart from verrucae.
