Mosaic Warts

As noted above, mosaic Warts is a term applied to a group or cluster of Plantar Warts. The term Mosaic Warts may also apply to a knot of Common Warts with Plantar Wart-like characteristics. This grouping is also called a plaque.

Mosaic Warts are Common Warts. They present a more serious problem than either a single Plantar Wart or a group of other Common Warts. This is especially applicable to Mosaic Warts located on the sole of the foot. This is not only an issue of discomfort but of treatment.

The depth of the roots of Mosaic Warts is affected by the varied surface. Some members of this plaque are on higher levels than others. The group is also irregular in shape. The thick and dry skin they inhabit may often dry out and crack. This leaves the skin open to other infectious incursions.

Adding to the problem is the arrangement of the Mosaic Warts. The individual warts are tightly packed together. This creates problems of sorting out the various individual warts. Overall, Mosaic Warts on the foot create a challenge for treatment.
