Clinical and dermoscopic features of common warts

Abstract

Common warts have a distinctive appearance and can usually be diagnosed with the unaided eye; however, early growth stages and post-treatment warts are less easily diagnosed. Published dermoscopic features of common warts include frogspawn pattern,¹ mosaic pattern,² and dotted, linear, globular or coiled vessels.^1,2 Our study shows that exophytic keratotic projection pattern, daisy flower pattern and hairpin vessels can be seen in common warts via dermoscopy, alongside the above patterns and structures.
