WHAT DOES VERRUCA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

verruca

Plantar wart

A plantar wart, verruca or myrmecia is a wart caused by the human papillomavirus occurring on the sole or toes of the foot. Plantar warts are usually self-limiting, but treatment is generally recommended to lessen symptoms, decrease duration, and reduce transmission. Infection occurs in an estimated 7–10% of the US population. In a 1949 survey of 3,906 mainland Chinese and 1,222 Indians who had never worn shoes, plantar warts were reported in 0.29% of subjects. While higher than rates in the US, this alone does not establish a causal relationship between shoe usage and incidence rate of plantar warts; genetics plays an important role in determining susceptibility. Common warts appear approximately twice as frequently in whites as in blacks or Asians.
