Why does my verruca have tiny black dots in the centre?

The tiny black dots in the centre of your verruca are actually small blood vessels that have formed within the wart. These dots are often a sign that the verruca is growing and can indicate its viral nature. They can be a distinguishing feature when identifying verrucas compared to other skin conditions.

Key points:

  • The black dots are small blood vessels.
  • They indicate the verruca's growth.
  • Verrucas are caused by a virus.
  • They can be mistaken for other skin issues.
