Overview of Peptic Ulcer Disease Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a chronic (long lasting) condition that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or digestive system. PUD causes ulcers (sores or lesions) in the lining (mucosa) of the stomach or first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
What are the symptoms and how are plantar warts diagnosed? These warts can look like small, fleshy bumps; hard, flat growths with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries; or gray or brown lumps with tiny pinprick-size black dots (clotted blood vessels that distinguish warts from bloodless corns and calluses).
Plantar warts are a distinct type of wart that typically grows on the bottom of the feet (often on pressure points like the ball or heel). Plantar warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) which usually penetrates the skin through tiny cuts or breaks.lantar warts are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) in the outer layer of skin on the sole of your feet. There are more than 100 types of HPV, but only a few types are known to cause warts on your feet.
