Verruca is another name for what?

Bacterial infection
Warts
Fungal infection
Yeast infection

The correct answer is: Warts

The term "verruca" specifically refers to warts, which are benign growths on the skin caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can appear in various forms, such as plantar warts on the feet or common warts on the hands. Understanding that verruca signifies this particular skin condition is crucial in an esthetician's practice, as it assists in identifying skin lesions and determining appropriate treatment options. Other choices represent different types of infections or conditions. Bacterial infections involve pathogens that can affect various skin layers but are not related to warts. Fungal infections pertain to conditions caused by fungi, while yeast infections specifically refer to infections caused by yeast, a subgroup of fungi. None of these correctly align with the definition of verruca. Therefore, warts remain the accurate association for the term.
