Nombres alternativos

Síntomas:

  • Lesión cutánea o tumoración pequeña, plana o levantada y dura
  • Piel anormalmente clara u oscura alrededor de la lesión
  • Numerosas lesiones pequeñas, planas y lisas (del tamaño de la cabeza de un alfiler) en la frente, las mejillas, los brazos o las piernas
  • Lesiones rugosas, redondas u ovaladas en las plantas de los pies, que son planas o ligeramente levantadas y dolorosas al presionarlas

Signos y exámenes:

Las verrugas se pueden diagnosticar simplemente por su localización y apariencia. Es posible que el médico quiera tomar una biopsia de la verruga para confirmar que no se trate de un callo, una callosidad u otro crecimiento de apariencia similar.
