wart
Rough viral growth
A wart is a small, rough growth on the skin caused by a virus.
The word extends to any unwanted bump or protuberance: a wart on the surface of the wood.
To show someone warts and all is to present them honestly, including their flaws—from Cromwell's instruction that his portrait show his blemishes.
