Verruca peruana is a type of skin lesion 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 lesions are generally harmless but can be uncomfortable or unsightly. The condition is more common in tropical regions, particularly in Peru, where it gets its name. Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy, or laser therapy, depending on the severity and location of the verruca. Most cases resolve on their own over time, but medical intervention can help speed up the healing process.
