The Peruvian Wart, scientifically known as Verruca peruana, is a type of skin growth caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It typically appears as a raised, rough bump on the skin, often found on the hands and feet. These warts can vary in size and may be painful, especially if located on weight-bearing areas. These warts are common in children and young adults but can affect anyone. They are usually harmless and may resolve on their own over time. Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy, or laser therapy, depending on the severity and location of the wart.
