verruca
Plantar wart specifically
A verruca is a wart, particularly one on the sole of the foot.
The term is more common in British English, where it specifically denotes plantar warts—those rough, sometimes painful growths caused by human papillomavirus that develop on weight-bearing surfaces: The swimming pool requires verruca socks.
In medical contexts, verruca applies to warts generally.
