warts
Rough skin growths
Warts are small, rough growths on the skin caused by viral infection.
They appear most commonly on hands and feet, though they can grow anywhere.
Figuratively, warts represent imperfections or flaws: to show someone warts and all is to present them honestly, without hiding their faults.
